Quote:The extra snowfall that began 10,000 years ago has been slowly accumulating on the ice sheet and compacting into solid ice over millennia, thickening the ice in East Antarctica and the interior of West Antarctica by an average of 0.7 inches (1.7 centimeters) per year. This small thickening, sustained over thousands of years and spread over the vast expanse of these sectors of Antarctica, corresponds to a very large gain of ice – enough to outweigh the losses from fast-flowing glaciers in other parts of the continent and reduce global sea level rise.
Zwally’s team calculated that the mass gain from the thickening of East Antarctica remained steady from 1992 to 2008 at 200 billion tons per year, while the ice losses from the coastal regions of West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula increased by 65 billion tons per year.
just in case you've completely deluded yourself let me break it down
Antarctica makes 200 million tons of ice again per year.
While it looses 65 million tons
so subtract 200 from 65, 145 MILLION tons of Ice per year..
Now that was at the height of global warming in 2008. global warming has now been in a decline for almost 10 years now. (which is why we have the name change/global climate change)
Did you get it? can you see it now?
By your logic, the entire planet will be covered in ice in no time. I have to admit, you're a pretty good Poe. You've been at this for years. Bravo.
