Global Climate Change - Polar Ice Sheets

Examples of global climate change are present in the Antarctic as well as the Arctic. The dramatic example of the Larsen ice shelf breaking off is only one proof. Like the scientists who study the Arctic changes, the scale of Antarctic changes and ensuing global impact is disputed, although there is a general consensus that the climate is warming in the Anarctic. In order to present a more balanced set of proofs, the articles linked here mostly deal with a stable ice theory, which predicts much less change in the Antarctic than is expected for the Arctic.
