"Surface snowmelt in Antarctica in 2008, as derived from spaceborne passive microwave observations at 19.35 gigahertz, was 40% below the average of the period 19872007. The melting index (MI, a measure of where melting occurred and for how long) in 2008 was the second-smallest value in the 19872008 period, with 3,465,625 square kilometers times days (km2 × days) against the average value of 8,407,531 km2 × days (Figure 1a). Melt extent (ME, the extent of the area subject to melting) in 2008 set a new minimum with 297,500 square kilometers, against an average value of approximately 861,812 square kilometers.
This evidence suggests that Antarctica, where 90% of the land based ice in the world resides, is increasing in mass. And this fact is ignored or downplayed in virtually every mainstream report."

I was watching a Mega Disasters program about climate change on The History Channel last night that was predicting, are you ready for this, another ice age!
I guess these guys didn't get the memo.................
