Our current warming trend has been happening for 6000 years. Antarctica has suffered the least from these affects. The area is one of the few areas still growing ice (offsetting arctic loss).

The past few years have seen cooling. The warmest year appears to agree with the rest of the planet at 1999 in all recorded history (150 years). Second warmest was 1938. Let[s hope for continued cooling.
