Neither Antarctica nor Greenland are getting 'bigger.'
The oceans drive much of the global weather, they are heating up. Oceans are a big heat sink.
The air above Antartica is warming. The polar regions are warming the most of all. Ask the elderly Eskimos....
Most people cannot think. Therefore they do not know how to analyze the chain of cause and effects.
They do not know that if the polar ice melts, that CAN produce a New Ice Age.
When houses in Canada and the USA, especially in certain regions, start getting buried under the winter snows, then they will start believing.
The weather will become more and more interesting. All things will alter.
Drought, flood, torrential rains, tornadoes, cyclones...
All are in the offing. Many changes in unexpected places.
Some have to watch out more than others. A list could be made, but understanding more would enable everyone to evaluate their own situation.

Both of them are happening. The carbon dioxide we release into the atmosphere absorbs heat from the sun and increases the temperature. The dust pollution we cause cooling because the dust particles go high up in the atmosphere and block the sunlight. This lowers the temperatures.
