A surprising shift is underway at the bottom of the world. After decades of contributing to rising sea levels, Antarctica’s massive ice sheet has started growing again — at least for now.

A study published this week in Science China Earth Sciences finds that the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) experienced a record-breaking mass gain between 2021 and 2023, largely due to anomalous increases in precipitation. The rebound is especially significant in East Antarctica, where four major glacier basins had previously shown signs of destabilization.

Climate Change Alarmists are currently in panicked conference talks to determine possible measures to spin this development!

"After decades of contributing to rising sea levels"

The beaches I went to as a kid had exactly the same shore lines they do now. Who are they trying to fool?

Did the President issue an executive order to mandate this?
Another lib religious tenet (globull warming indicators) falls apart.

comedian Alan Corolla has the perfect take on ice. just put “national” in front of it and it becomes “National Immigration and Customs Enforcement” or NICE. who could argue with folks in a jacket that reads “Nice Agent”?

Only 5.73 years left. About time to start packing that 'to go' bag.

It’s axiomatic. The left’s claims that Antarctic ice is a surrogate or indicator of warming is a bogus claim to begin with.

Antarctica receives virtually no snowfall, because Antarctica is too cold for snow. If Antarctica was to warm, THEN it would gain ice.
