1. Andrew Shepherd:

   Growth of Antarctic sea ice over the past few decades had been a relief, because it offset some of the rapid losses in the Arctic, now that sea ice is retreating in both hemispheres we should be concerned about our planet's temperature because it means less of the sun's heat is reflected back into space.

2. Catherine Bradshaw:

   The surface of the Antarctic ice sheet is very bright, and it reflects some 50-80 % of the sunlight that hits it. Where the ice sheet retreats and exposes the darker land surface underneath, this ground is much less reflective and so absorbs more sunlight, which warms it up.

4. Eric Rignot:

   That's just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, as the Antarctic ice sheet continues to melt away, we expect multi-metre sea level rise from Antarctica in the coming centuries.

5. Ms Lynch:

   One of the ways in which this is good news is that other studies have shown this area (the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula) is likely to remain more stable under climate change than the western Antarctic Peninsula, so we end up with a large population of Adelie penguins in a region likely to remain suitable to them for some time.
