Ridgewood NJ, Antarctica is gaining ice — not losing it — and the latest peer-reviewed research confirms it. A new study published in Science China Earth Sciences reveals that between 2021 and 2023, Antarctica’s massive ice sheet experienced record-breaking mass gains driven largely by increased snowfall in four major glacier basins.
This revelation runs contrary to the mainstream climate narrative and hasn’t been widely reported — but it carries major implications for sea level predictions and the global climate conversation.
What the Study Shows: Antarctic Ice Growth Explained
The study identifies four key glacier basins in Antarctica where the ice sheet has grown significantly. The data from 2021 to 2023 shows:
-
❄️ Record ice mass gain across the Antarctic Ice Sheet
-
🌨️ Snowfall-driven growth contributing to the change
-
🌊 A temporary offset in global sea level rise
Scientists note that this development highlights the dynamic and sensitive nature of polar ecosystems. If current conditions persist, short-term sea level projections could shift dramatically.
Why This Matters: A Climate Twist
Antarctica holds over 50% of the world’s fresh water. Any shift in its ice mass — growth or decline — has direct implications for:
-
🌊 Global sea levels
-
📊 Climate modeling
-
🌐 Environmental policy
Researchers stress the importance of real-world observations versus climate models, which often fail to capture rapid shifts like this. The polar bear population, for instance, was once predicted to collapse — yet recent studies show it’s actually increasing.
The Takeaway: Models Aren’t the Full Story
Just as with COVID-19 forecasting, climate models must be interpreted alongside empirical data. The Antarctic ice gain serves as a crucial reminder that the Earth’s climate systems are complex, and that unexpected developments are always possible.

This manufactured ‘climate crisis’ was never anything but a leftist money grab, funding Democrat candidates, and financially subsidizing their supporters with government money, for DECADES. From ‘global cooling’, then to ‘global warming’, then onto the newer ‘climate change’ narratives, this nonsense has cost us trillions of dollars. It needs to end, NOW!
Maybe don’t just cherry pick the parts of the article that suit you. The very next paragraph:
“However, this isn’t a sign that global warming and climate change have miraculously reversed. Picture a long ski slope with a small jump at the end. That’s what a line through the Antarctic ice sheet data looks like when plotted on a graph. While there have been some recent ice gains, they don’t even begin to make up for almost 20 years of losses.”

You’re not helping your case by citing loony liberal propaganda sites masquerading as science. You’re not even cherry picking, more like offering poison apples.
OK so you pick the one paragraph that suits your view of the world, and anything that might suggest facts that offer an alternative are “liberal propaganda sites masquerading as science?” Ha. Wow. Must really be nice where you’re always right and anyone suggesting anything to the contrary is “fake news.”
It’s frickin’ awesome, to be honest with you.
100% scam
the ironic thing is the money changers and our congress created the society we live in today. They created the water, air, soil, and noise pollution. Nothing is going to get better. We have so many problems in the most densely populated state in the nation. Our leaders are woke. THe last Republican we had was a Chris Christie governor and hes 200 lbs overweight and been working for MSDNC for the last several years. Nothing made me happier than when Trump took Christie and Jeb Bush down in the 2015 Republican Primaries. That was legendary how he defeated a field of almost 20 to secure the nomination and end up beating Crooked Hillary in 2016.
There is so much work that needs to get done and if you people think sitting back and saying my voice doesnt matter or whats the point? that is how you lose.
“If you are in a fight you have to attack. You have to keep attacking. The enemy has to know that you’re not going to give up. You must break the soul of whatever the f is in front of you. If you keep attacking something, nothing wants to stand in the way of anything that is relentless.”
-David Goggins
Congress? Congress doesn’t do squat. Their power is rubber stamping and obstruction. Those people aren’t smart; they’re venal. And this “enemy” you speak of has never been spoken of and never been seen except by an elect few, so how are you going to fight what you can’t see, Gogginson?
We started with “global warming” then had to switch to “climate change” as weather conditions didn’t fit the left’s narrative. John Kerry told us in 2009 that Antarctica would be ice free 2013 ..how did that work out?
This is a fact
No, it is not….
The fact is that the climate zealots started with “global cooling” in the 1970s…
Time Mag 1974 – “Another Ice Age”
Time Magazine – July 24,1974 – Another Ice Age
Newsweek Mag 1975 – “The Cooling World”
Newsweek Magazine – April 289, 1975 – The Cooling World
…and you can ignore the Global Warming/Climate Change zealots who tell you these articles are false and are a Hoax/Myth .
These articles are readily available in Time and Newsweek archives and clearly cite “climatologists” and their definitive “facts” indicating Global Cooling and “the need to ACT”.
Climate change is a hoax
I heard the increase in ice was due to Hillary vacationing there over the summers.
AOC said the world will end in 12 yrs due to climate change. Start checking off ur bucket list.
There’s some secret shit going on there.
All Gore and Frankenstein Kerry are full of crap!
