Baloney... The ice pack on the south pole is starting to crack up. In the news last month...

"A huge crack in an Antarctic ice shelf now has a new second branch, scientists announced Tuesday. Once the crack completely shears off, it will create one of the largest icebergs ever recorded, one that's larger than the state of Rhode Island. The main crack in the Larsen C ice shelf is now 110 miles long. The iceberg is most likely to break free within the next few months because of the overwhelming weight the 110 miles of already separated ice is placing on the 12 miles that remains connected to the shelf, said Adrian Luckman of Project MIDAS, a British Antarctic research project that's keeping watch on the ever-growing crack."

My guess is like the Greenland ice, once free of the shelf, there is nothing to prevent the rest of the south pole ice from sliding into the ocean. The process will accelerate as more cracks appear in the South Pole ice pack.
