Cant, you are like a true believer getting moral lessons from a paedophile priest - you have been duped, but are in denial. You Denialists are what were called "useful idiots" when an earlier socialist revolution was under way leading to decades of economic blight and genocidal war. Greenland, in case you haven't noticed, is little and trivial compared with Antarctica. Antarctica is the ice storage powerhouse [until reglaciation begins in 2019 when cities in USA and Canada and across Europe and Asia will be suitable places to store ice kilometres deep]. No they aren't. < the ice extents of the shelves off of the northern extents of Antarctic are shrinking rapidly > They did due to the end of the last glaciation and little ice age. But they have pretty much stopped shrinking now. Meanwhile, mountains of ice are accumulating in the interior. Re "the northern extents of the Antarctic .." that's amusing. I guess you know that the souther extents of the Antarctic are... oh, um... the northern extents. The southern extents of the Antarctic are at the south pole which is right there in the middle of the vast Antarctic continent with no "extent" to melt. You are right that where the edge of the ice meets the oceans, it melts. Ice accumulates in the centre, flows to the edges, breaks off and melts. It continously does that. Melting ice at the edge is what always happens, other than as winter gains ground and the sea freezes, melting again next summer. Mqurice
