http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/WorldOfChange/sea_ice_south.php says that Antarctica is gaining 3 x the area of tasmania a decade since satellite obs began (and of course goes on to say "Whether the small overall increase in sea ice extent is a sign of meaningful change in the Antarctic is uncertain because ice extents vary considerably from year to year and from sector to sector" ... because every silver lining has a cloud when you read this stuff). Rest assured, a -1%/decade change would have them waving their arms running in circles going "DANGER WILL ROBINSON!"
