00:12

you think about that A lot of things like that

00:28

A thinks that melting sea ice and increasing land ice

00:33

can basically be thought about in relation to one another

00:49

set the Facebook status for this relationship to It's complicated

00:53

now were so intrigued Side B tell us more well

00:56

side be mentions how complex it is to study and

00:59

understand the factors affecting Antarctica Land ice has its own

01:03

melting and freezing thing going on Sometimes it's got a

01:06

net zero loss of ice because all its melting and
