bigger picture, via IPCC6:
"There has been no significant trend in Antarctic sea ice area from 1979 to 2020 due to regionally opposing trends and large internal variability. Human influence very likely contributed to the decrease in Northern Hemisphere spring snow cover since 1950. It is very likely that human influence has contributed to the observed surface melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet over the past two decades, but there is only limited evidence, with medium agreement, of human influence on the Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss."

- marstall 5y agoif you read that document it is a very measured kind of rhetoric about the various dimensions of global warming ... they even have a section where they lay out exactly what terms such as "likely, very likely" etc. actually mean in terms of percentages...
