Nine years ago experts said record high sea ice in Antarctica was due to global warming and was exactly what they predicted.
“Antarctic ice floes extended further than ever recorded this southern winter, confounding the world’s most-trusted climate models.
the increasing sea ice was well understood by scientists. “In some ways it’s a bit counterintuitive for people trying to understand how global warming is affecting our polar regions, but in fact it’s actually completely in line with how climate scientists expect Antarctica and the Southern Ocean to respond. Particularly in respect to increased winds and increased melt water,” said Williams.”
