You're the one slammed hard over on your position. I'm just pointing out that most of the Antarctic problems are localized, have many factors involved, and again, not everything is fitting neatly into the picture. Nobody is even sure yet whether the total ice amount in Antarctica is going up or down. The range given in every paper I've seen is on both sides of zero.

I've looked at a lot of information on this, and have found that very few serious scientists specializing in this part of the world are willing to declare absolutely that all the phenomena they're seeing are related to human activities. Nor are they willing to declare absolutely that human activities have nothing to do with it. There's too much that nobody knows.

We'll know more when Duncan Wingham gets the new Cryosat up. The first one augured into the ocean.
