Looking back at the discussions about the Antarctic ice sheet gaining or losing mass, the 2015 Nasa study that suggested ice gain has been debunked.
Followup studies using precise satellite data found the growth areas only accumulated 1/3 of the mass the study suggested and the actual local gain is less than the loss elsewhere.

See https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinan.../#205625b47030 for a detailed analysis of this case.

If I duckduckgo I get endless lists of paid-by sites citing the NASA study but not that it was rebuked. Go figure.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
