Considering how little we have actually recorded ice levels in the Antarctic, that is not saying much.
If we compressed the history of the planet into a single year, then the amount of time we have actually recorded ice levels in the Antarctic would amount to less than one quarter of one second (0.2314 seconds).
If we compressed the history of just the current ice-age into a single year, then the amount of time we have actually recorded ice levels in the Antarctic would amount to just under 7 minutes (403.6437 seconds).
In other words, we do not know diddly-squat about the overwhelming vast majority of the history of the Antarctic.
This video is terrifying and spectacular at the same time. Hard to deny that something is going on in the Arctic regions after watching this video.
Congratulations on doing your "cause" a huge disservice. People that actually study this stuff hate your guts for being an "un-useful idiot".
Why? Because there is enough annual variation that when people like you make claims like this, you are inadvertently opening the door to counter arguments about other abnormal variations the other direction. Al Gore is the king of this...have you seen man-bear-pig?
In short, observable phenomenon from year to year doesn't prove squat, confuses the public and then the opposition hijacks the same logic so you look like a raging Hypocrite when you refute them.
Jesus. Stop. Just stop. Go do whatever it is that you do because it sure as heck isn't related to science.
Stop being so self-important and feeling the need to educate people on a topic you don't really understand.

Yes, but that poster is just using the same logic that the OP did.

would that be middle earth Frodo Baggins?? or would that be the middle east
That wasn't terrifying. That was awesome. Something that has happened for billions of years, was captured for all to see.
We should all realize, that same ice sheet, once covered 1/2 of North America.
Ahh yes...the good old days.
Before humans and their icky global warming.
