Antarctica gains ice for first time in decades, reversing trend of mass loss, study finds

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.

largely due to anomalous increases in precipitation.

Meaning the real world didn't match the climate alarmist model.

Should sea levels fall, it’ll be tougher to get the cheap Chinese stuff.

No matter what the weather is, it's all due to "climate change" - notice how "Global Warming" and "Global Cooling" have morphed into the generic Climate Change.

Hell, Governor Newsom blames the recent destructive wildfires in Southern California on "Climate Change" - not on the incompetent pols who didn't fill up the reservoirs - reservoirs specifically built to fight wildfires.

It's all such a scam to exert even more control over our lives:

"Oh no! The ice age of devastation is back!"

No joke... Actually you are right on the money and it is absolute fact. We are indeed past due for another Ice Age in the perpetual very regular long term 125K Glacial/Interglacial cycle. And we are going to see signs of this reality real soon. And this is how it starts...

They’re going to break out the “Impending ice Age” propaganda they’ve had in storage for forty years.

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

You raise a very good curiosity. We know it is the driest desert on the Planet and your theory has merit. But it begs the question of how then did it gain ice and size during all the previous Global cooling and Glacial periods? Because it would be counterintuitive to your proposal wouldn’t it?

We need to hurry up and dim the sun so that the ice goes away.

The Climate Change Hustlers have a busted thermometer and didn’t know it. Our Climate is alive and well and makes adjustments as it was made to do because of nonstandard changes in the atmosphere.

Oh, BS! There has been no total decrease in Antarctic ice. The global warming arseholes do a measurement on one portion and proclaim the end of the world.
When they need more $$ they do another biased measurement.

My first thought too. They just make statements as though they’re just a ‘matter of fact’, when they’re really just assertions. I suppose, if you live in that bubble, there’s no question about it and don’t realize how it sounds to those outside the bubble.

It also drives me nuts when people claim that the sea level is higher in a particular area! As though Archimedes Principle doesn’t apply. I had a family member ask a friend, who lives in Florida, if the sea level (in Florida) is as high as ‘she had heard’.

“Our Climate is alive and well and makes adjustments as it was made to do because of nonstandard changes in the atmosphere.”

Yep, like an A/C system it is actually a closed system. It extracts heat from one end of the system and releases it on the other end of the system elsewhere.

So that means if it is getting warmer in one area it is also getting equally cooler in the area it extracted that heat from.

And they are deceptively only reporting the warming and not the opposite cooling that is happening simultaneously that counteracts that warming.

“We need to hurry up and dim the sun so that the ice goes away.”

I actually think that is the agenda towards population control. I think they are trying to hasten the inevitable glacial period coming.

“After decades of contributing to rising sea levels”

WHERE are they rising? The moon? ‘Cause they ain’t rising here on earth.

The opposite is happening.

OMG! NOTHING stays the same. NOTHING! The erf is constantly changing. It ALWAYS has, it ALWAYS will.

You can’t judge what is happening based on recent events.

Especially when you LIE and DISTORT them.

I’m 75 years old. 3/4 of a century. I can tell you that globull warming will not affect my life one bit.
