Southern Ice Sheet Growth Continues to Puzzle Climate Scientists
By Marco Kopinke,
 

Record-Breaking Ice Mass Gain Defies Decades of Loss
 

The Antarctic Ice Sheet has done something that genuinely shocked climate scientists around the world. Between 2021 and 2023, the AIS experienced a record-breaking increase in overall mass, marking the first time in decades that Antarctica gained mass, reversing previous loss trends. This wasn’t just a minor fluctuation – the ice sheet gained approximately 108 gigatons per year during this period, completely reversing what scientists had observed for the previous two decades.

The magnitude of this reversal is staggering when you consider the numbers. From 2002-2010, Antarctica experienced moderate ice loss at -73.79±56.27 gigatonnes per year, which nearly doubled to -142.06±56.12 gigatonnes per year during 2011-2020. Then came the complete turnaround that has left researchers scrambling to understand what’s happening. That growth was enough to temporarily offset global sea level rise by about 0.3 millimeters per year during the same period.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

What is the puzzle?  The left has already told the world the warmer it gets, the colder it gets.  What could be more definitive than that? *****rollingeyes*****

So, alleged "climate scientists" don't know $h!t, and they are fraudlent charlatans?

Can the US taxpayer defund these frauds and claw back all the wasted grant money?
