Antarctica gains ice, reversing trend of loss, study finds

Tuesday, May 06, 2025

*The Antarctic Ice Sheet gained mass between 2021 and 2023, a dramatic reversal from decades of loss. *Four key glacier basins in East Antarctica showed significant growth due to increased snowfall. *The mass gain briefly contributed to a decrease in global sea level rise, according to satellite data.

You're too ignorant to know your lying, or you're just lying, take your pick.

Ice has been receding for twenty years.
Ice accreted for two years.
Which explains why here's still much less ice than there was, just twenty years ago.

Well, I guess Liberals picked a good year to leave the Global Warming religion and start vandalizing Teslas because they no longer cared about this 'existential crisis'
