Well, it is you that apparently doesn't understand the issues.
The ice we're talking about doesn't form in one season. The glacial ice
pack in Greenland for example took many hundreds of years to form. So if
you melt three feet of it in the 'summer', nothing near that much will
freeze in the southern icecap in the same time frame (i.e. one winter).
Especially Antarctica. It is classified as a desert because it gets so
little precipitation. It took even more years to build up the icecap there
than what it took to build up Greenland's.
Increased melting in the summer, and shorter periods of accumulation in the
winter produces a net loss from year to year. That is the issue.
