A NEW Nasa study of the Antarctic from space has thrown the case for climate change into disarray after finding that more new ice has formed at the Antarctic than has been lost to its thinning glaciers.

The US space agency research claims 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 melting glaciers.

Global warming theories have been thrown into doubt after Nasa also claimed current horror predictions into future sea-level rises may not be as severe.

Major studies previously made the case for global warming being a man-made problem, including the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2013 report, which said that Antarctica was overall losing land ice.

But a Nasa spokesman said: “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.”

Glaciers melt because of INSOLATION.
