A new study shows that the Antarctic Ice Sheet has experienced a “mass gain period lasting over three years.” So Antarctica is not melting. Since at least 2021, it has been growing.
Researchers at Tongji University found that Antarctica had lost 142 gigatons of ice per year since 2011 but starting in 2021, that trend began to flip. In the years since, Antarctica has grown by approximately 108 gigatons of ice per year.
Why would this happen? Because this is what glaciers do. They shrink and grow. Climate idiots would have you believe they are supposed to stay at one mass forever but that’s just ignorance. Glaciers are dynamic systems by nature and in a constant state of flux.
