Good lord . Climate change as predicted that certain weather patterns will occur because of it . this includes the sea ice of the antarctic regions becoming more dense , but why ? Fresh water , or more importantly the mechanism for how the Antarctic creates ice is different . The models are right that we are seeing high density of water int he atmosphere because of the higher temps . and this translates into snow . or fresh water . And fresh water freezes at a higher tempt than seawater . so as we see migrations of freshwater from the melts from the north , it freezes in the the south and protects the ice like insulation . The daily mail as a source ? how about something that addresses the question with science . . Or you can just scream GLOBAL WARMING HOAX till your eyes bleed . but consider that it is SCIENCE that is looking at this and looking for an answer and not simply hiding it like some guy in a bowler hat twisting his mustache a n t a r c t i c a s e a i c e l e v e l g r o w i n g w h i l e a r c t i c g l a c i e r s m e l t s c limatechangeglobalwarming
