The Antarctic sea ice area anomaly has been growing at a rate of 330,000 km² per year, and has been above normal for 534 days in a row. Using the standard and best statistical techniques of peer-reviewed climate science, we can conclude that all of Earth’s oceans will be covered with Antarctic sea ice by November, 3054.
Hansen predicted peak sea ice loss in Antarctica.

OMG, think of the children!…
Um, is that 354 number right? I thought it’d been above avg every day last year and this year so far. Shouldn’t that number be around 500?

Should be 534.
Once the Earth is covered with snow, at least we won’t starve…
…we can use “snow fleas” as a new staple in our diet…

yummy…
Some people say that when the glaciers start to grow in the Arctic, the glaciers in the Antarctic will start to decrease… but I don’t see why this should happen, the increase of Antarctic ice seems to be accelerating in recent years

specially after 2007-08.
It will not be the first time for snowball Earth and it will not be the last
