Cheers
Thanks but that's a prediction for the future.

Current reality is,
"In the Southern Hemisphere, autumn is well underway, and sea ice extent is growing rapidly. Antarctic sea ice extent for April 2014 reached 9.00 million square kilometers (3.47 million square miles), the largest ice extent on record by a significant margin. This exceeds the past record for the satellite era by about 320,000 square kilometers (124,000 square miles), which was set in April 2008."

Who'd have thought that a hot atmosphere coupled with a hot ocean would lead to more sea ice? Plenty of future research projects there.
