From Slate’’s Does growing sea ice in Antarctica bode well for the future?: “We’ve all heard that the Arctic ice is disappearing, surefire proof that global warming will kill us all. But isn’t it also true that Antarctica’s ice is growing by leaps and bounds? Doesn’t that mean we’re getting into a lather over nothing?” [Editor's note: Someone mentioned this point to me recently, so I figured I'd post a link to the answer here.]
