This may facilitate
extra cooling in Antarctica during SH winter ..


As the years go bye, and the empirical evidence continues to confound the computer models, we will see the desperate attempts by the GW types to modify their models and grasp at straws.

There may be an explanation for the Arctic/Antarctic
dichotomy ..


Well, the ice in Antarctica has been thicker than the Arctic for thousands of years, primarily due (in theory) to the fact that the continent is isolated and the convection of those currents around it create a chilling effect.

But more germane would be that thicker inland snowfall and ice creation applied additional seaward pressure on the existing icepack and led to a lot of that "calving" of icebergs/sheets we saw.
