It takes tremendous heat to bring solid water at zero C to liquid at zero C. The Antarctic sea ice increase is also a sign of climate change – although it be rather counter-intuitive (it’s the ice mass of the entire Antarctic system that is really the issue, and there are strong indicators that too is decreasing). If there were ever a smoking gun for global warming and climate change, the massive net loss of ice is the smoky-est one of all, and there is no other reasonable explanation than human influence.
