Quoting the article:
Even earlier, NASA reported in October 2014 that Antarctic sea ice growth was at a “record high extent this year, covering more of the southern oceans than it has since scientists began a long-term satellite record to map sea ice extent in the late 1970s.” “On Sept. 19, 2014, the five-day average of Antarctic sea ice extent exceeded 20 million square kilometers for the first time since 1979,” NASA said.
OK, yeah, sure SEA ICE is increasing. Key word is SEA. SEA ICE. Sea ice is not the same as LAND ICE. Land ice is being decimated, that that doesn't show up on all that imagery. Climate deniers can keep parroting the SEA ICE numbers, but growing SEA ICE is being countered by the decreasing LAND ICE.
