Moral of the story, don't get your scientific information from journalists. Any system is complex and has many nuances, and the few paragraph grade 6 level writing of journalism isn't sufficient to properly communicate the complexities or nuances.
Unless one is getting the scientific information from journalists in order to confirm a pre-conceived ideologically based position without having to really understand things, then newspapers and talk radio is perfect because one can just find the ones that support what one wants to think.

See, exact point. It's easy to say "antarctic ice sheets" have been increasing in size.
But is that really true? Is it true of sea ice or land ice, both or neither? What's the difference? What's the impact of each? What causes land ice? What causes sea ice and land ice. I assume you know, the answer to all that, since you seem to know that the ice sheets have been increasing in size.
