Dude,Lotta south GA going to have to disappear for that to be south GA.
It was from a scientific Journal from actual scientists who study this for a living: We've known the "north pole" has been melting at an alarming rate. We also knew the West side of Antartica--down south--was melting quickly. We didn't know the East side of Antartica was melting this quickly. Now we do.

You must forgive the right wing loons on this forum. They do not believe in science.........ever. Sheep. Cue the Prius jokes, you must forgive them for that as well, they are not particularly clever but they all get a kick out of it without realizing that the joke is on them. There is a great Climate Change thread where the Climate Science Deniers get absolutely owned - it's a great read if you have the time.

Ice sheets (land ice) and sea ice are not the same thing. The Antarctic ice sheets, as noted by OP, are melting fast (just like the vast majority of land ice around the world).
Is Antarctica losing or gaining ice?
Antarctic sea ice has shown long term growth since satellites began measurements in 1979. This is an observation that has been often cited as proof against global warming. However, rarely is the question raised: why is Antarctic sea ice increasing? The implicit assumption is it must be cooling around Antarctica. This is decidedly not the case. In fact, the Southern Ocean has been warming faster than the rest of the world's oceans. Globally from 1955 to 1995, oceans have been warming at 0.1°C per decade. In contrast, the Southern Ocean has been warming at 0.17°C per decade. Not only is the Southern Ocean warming, it is warming faster than the global trend.

Not trying to start something but why is this statement truncated at 1995?
Clearly data exists to take this statement to at least within a year of now - why stop the statement 20 years ago?
Could it be the rate of warming between 1955 and 1995 is significantly different than from 1995 to present?
Is there any cherry picking here?

Cherry picking? In politically agendized science? Nah.
Weak bro... Go full retard or go home, here's how to properly 'agendize' something.
Boston Snow a liberal conspiracy? Here, let Fox n' Skanks help you decide. Also, this is clearly more proof that Jesus is a lib. Or is it? I'm confused.

I love how the idiots around here like to sneer and claim that religious folks don't believe in science.
As if anyone who actually believes in God completely shuns science in any form. You can't carry a balance of both I guess.

I believe in God and climate change. Climate change is a naturally occurring phenomena. History shows it. Do I think climate change is purely due to man-made causes? No. Periods of global warming and cooling are naturally occuring. The "little Ice Age" ended in 1850 and lasted for a couple hundred years.
The ones who balance it aren't rejecting evolution and climate change. Facts don't need balancing, they stand on their own merit. If you feel compelled to try to knock them down to prop up a perspective or perception of your God and the universe, don't delude yourself into thinking you are balancing anything.
