Ooopsie is right, but the mistake is yours and those for whom you parrot. Total polar ice is decreasing steadily and predictably.

Comparing Arctic sea ice loss to Antarctic sea ice gain shows that the planet has-been shedding sea ice at an average annual rate of 13,500 square miles since 1979, the equivalent of losing an area of sea ice larger than the state of Maryland every year.
