Perhaps there is.
3 days ago I posted on a possible tipping point being reached in the Arctic:

Some of the comments suggested that perhaps there was a compensatory affect at the opposite pole going on in the antarctic that balanced out any negative effects of the unseasonable ice loss in the North.
It should be common knowledge that glaciers are also melting globally and that in Antarctica ice shelves are breaking up.
Well today I learned that some of the mechanisms of Antarctic ice shelf break up are starting to be understood.
After studying Antarctica’s warming climate for decades, scientists are making a surprising discovery: In some places, much of that abnormal warmth is invading in the form of powerful, downhill winds called föhn (pronounced “fone”) winds.
...now suspects that these winds contributed to a series of dramatic glacial collapses that have been steadily redrawing the map on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula for the last 30 years.
