Actually, most climate scientists have said that its the Antarctic Peninsula, not the Antarctic which will show the effects of climate change first, and that's happening, with the breakup of Larsen Ice Shelf A & B, and now C.
The increase in antarctic ice is about 1/3 of the amount lost in the Arctic.
Global warming does not mean that every location on the surface will be warmer. Some will get colder. For example, it's possible that global warming will shut down the Gulf Stream. If that were to happen, Europe would get a LOT colder.
