Inquisitr "A new Antarctic ice sheet study from NASA yielded surprising data results, and the findings contradict the conclusion of a previous report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). As reported by Tech Times, the study shows that increased accumulation of snow in Antarctica, which began 10,000 years ago, is continuing to increase the amount of ice on the continent, and compensates for the loss of glaciers. The research is significant because it challenges the findings of a number of studies, including those cited by the IPCC. The IPCC report from 2013 says that the Antarctic land ice is declining.
"According to satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet shows a clear increase of 112 billion tons of ice annually from 1992 to 2001, while the total loss between 2003 and 2008 was only 82 billion tons. Jay Zwally, a glaciologist with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and lead author of the study, issued the following statement regarding the study." . . .Read more at the link
