The Antarctic ice is indeed melting, but only a small portion of it, due apparently to an anomaly in ocean currents, and possibly an undersea volcano.  Specifically, only West Antarctica is warming, and it's not the first time.  And check the timeframe.  Is it a ten year prediction, or a thousand year trend?  Rapidly means different things to different people.

Overall, according to Cryosphere Today, Antarctic ice area is one million sq. kilometers greater than normal.  Globally, the ice anomaly is also about one million sq. kilometer above normal.  The multi-year ice extent trend in the SH is definitely a positive one.  Antarctic temperatures are essentially unchanged (except West Antarctica), although there is some disagreement on that point.  In any case, the change is only fractions of a degree, and there is no danger of melting at the pole.

I see no point in making claims of warming and melting when it is simply not true.  It makes us look ignorant.  Why make an argument that is so easily discredited?  Check the facts.  There is plenty of information available to support any position.
