Has it occurred to anyone that it's summer in the southern hemisphere? Every summer the ice shelves break off. So what? They have done that for a very long time but we haven't had satellites up until recently so we could tell when it happened.
Right now it's winter in the north -- and the ice is getting thicker and covering more area in the north. When summer comes up here, it will decrease again. So what? That's what happens in summer. It's called *seasons*.
