In a recent study, NASA reported, contrary to popular belief, that Antarctica is actually gaining ice, not melting. The findings, which are based on satellite imagery of the eastern Antarctic ice fields, determine that ice is being formed faster than it is being melted. The findings challenge a highly touted 2013 report from the United Nations and undermine many of the talking points climate activists have relied on for more than a decade. “For east Antarctica and the interior of West Antarctica—there, we see an ice gain that exceeds the losses in the other areas,” said Jay Zwally, the report’s lead author, in a NASA press release.
