Antarctica gaining more ice than it's losing overall

"The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away," Zwally said. "But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for."


I feel like science news is written to confuse the public. How many people will even get to this part instead of stopping at the headline with "see, climate change can't possibly be happening!"

Meh. It's a modeling study. They change every year.
