Antarctica is getting icier

A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.
The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.
According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.
Straight from NASA

Muh global warming...

That goes against the narrative!

A totally unbiased organization I’m sure

Facts are an inconvenient truth.

That’s kind of uncalled for?

Clearly you didn't pick up on the joke

But what about the data that clearly shows a rise in the last few years?? We knew it was all crap. & TWC is full of it.

Article date at the top left
Article is a couple years old. Interested if there's newer research they've done. Probably need to look into this:

To help accurately measure changes in Antarctica, NASA is developing the successor to the ICESat mission, ICESat-2, which is scheduled to launch in 2018. “ICESat-2 will measure changes in the ice sheet within the thickness of a No. 2 pencil,” said Tom Neumann, a glaciologist at Goddard and deputy project scientist for ICESat-2. “It will contribute to solving the problem of Antarctica’s mass balance by providing a long-term record of elevation changes.”

Eventually the truth wins out no matter how much government money is thrown at the prevailing narrative.

one could argue that even though net ice is gaining, the total area is declining. ice is thicker yes, but diameter is smaller.
in other words, yes land ice is growing, but sea ice is shrinking
what does this mean? I dunno exactly

A max pic taken at the start of summer vs a minimum pic taken at the end of summer.

yeah I realize those were bad examples after posting- but sea ice is shrinking in antanrtica

Uh, well one pic is taken in late winter and the other is in mid summer
