However the mainstream media (worldwide) did not reveal that the same source also reported that in the Antarctic, the sea - ice extent there was at a

satellite instruments discussed in this study have clearly advanced the state - of - the - art in cloud - radiation
observational capabilities, there is a critical need to extend the length of these
records over multiple decades and further improve their accuracy in order to quantify how clouds are changing in a warmer climate and how cloud changes impact the Earth's radiation budget.
