Not quite. The report actually shows an increase in extent, but not the volume, of sea-ice around Antarctica. That sounds good, but the data shows the Antarctic continental ice-sheet is shedding ice so fast during the summer months, and into the Autumn, that the ice can't melt or migrate away during the season. When the winter freeze comes the ice already in the water is making the ocean surface cooler and nucleating sea-ice growth farther off shore than it should be. We're seeing a larger but thinner sheet of ice around the Antarctic which can seem unaffected by climate change, but its ice is actually melting at a rate comparable to the Arctic.

Not quite, what the report actually shows is an increase in extent, but not the volume, of sea-ice around Antarctica. That sounds good but when you look at the data it actually shows that the Antarctic continental ice-sheet is shedding ice so fast during the summer months, and into the Autumn, that the ice can't melt or migrate away during the season. When the winter freeze comes the ice already in the water is making the ocean surface cooler and nucleating sea-ice growth farther off shore than it should be. We're seeing a larger but thinner sheet of ice around the Antarctic that makes it look less effected by the current temperature changes taking place when it fact the ice is melting as fast or even faster in the south as it is in the north.
