Antarctic concensus “flips”. Warmer water means *more* sea ice! « JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax
Which scientist predicted that the Antarctic would cool?

It was Henrik Svensmark. His theory points out that the Antarctic is unlike any other place on Earth. It’s so blindingly white, that it’s the only place where an increase in cloud cover lowers the albedo (which means the region absorbs more energy, and reflects less). That means when the rest of the world warms due to lowered cloud cover, the Antarctic will cool, and vice versa. I don’t know if cloud cover explains what is happening at the moment, perhaps Svensmark’s theory doesn’t help here either, but at least he made a prediction that can be checked.

So up pops researcher Ted Maksym, with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts to tell us that the Antarctic is part of the warming as well.

On goes the old litany: if it's hotter, it's climate change; if it's colder, it's climate change; wetter .. climate change; drier … climate change; less ice … climate change; and now … more ice … climate change.
