The ice is expanding?

Hey, this sounds like a positive step in the right direction! Satellite's have shown that the sea ice surrounding the Antarctic is on the rise. But this brings up the question of how? The global temperature is rising, the sea temperature is rising, and so is the sea level. Things aren't quite adding up here. Well it turns out that the satellite's that monitor the Antarctic region have a little bug in their microwave receptors. Shoot, just when I thought things had a chance of turning around.
