We need to teach people about the record ice growth in Antarctica
A ten-year-old meme which deniers desperately cling to:
The Antarctic ice sheet's mass has changed over the last decades. Research based on satellite data indicates that between 2002 and 2020, Antarctica shed approximately 150 billion metric tons of ice per year, adding to global sea level rise.
Areas in East Antarctica experienced modest amounts of mass gain due to increased snow accumulation [2012-2014]. However, this gain is more than offset by significant ice mass loss on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (dark red) over the 19-year period.
Not to mention the unprecedented loss of Arctic and Greenland ice.
Who says such things? Only those pencil-neck know-nothing climate scientists at NASA.
