Good news, everyone! NASA scientists just figured out that Antarctica is actually adding to its ice-pack despite all of the man-made global warming!
Now I'm confused. NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses https://t.co/Q2WQsgl6tv

Antarctica is overall accumulating ice, but parts have increased ice loss in last decades: https://t.co/j7x9idUdM8 pic.twitter.com/VMNbV1LB3m

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.
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.
It’s NASA so it must be true.
This discovery, however, makes the IPCC (and others) wrong:
A new NASA study found that Antarctica has been adding more ice than it’s been losing, challenging other research, including that of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that concludes that Earth’s southern continent is losing land ice overall.
And this NASA study also found that Antarctica is actually decreasing sea levels:

Remember these apocalyptic headlines? So much for those predictions:

Literally wrong.
