And as pointed out by the author, GW apologists have effectively taken the position that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO SEA ICE, it's a result of global warming!Although early computer models predicted a diminishment of both Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere sea ice due to anthropogenic global warming, subsequent modeling has posited that the results of warming around Antarctica would, counter-intuitively, generate sea ice growth.
