In a new study by NASA, Antartica is adding more ice that it has been losing. This latest report is challenging other research, including the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that concluded that Earth’s southern continent is losing ice.

This latest study challenges explanations for sea level rise, much of which was attributed by the UN panel and other Global Warming activists to melting ice sheets in Antartica.

Researchers from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the University of Maryland in College Park offered a new analysis of satellite data that show a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001 in the Antarctic ice sheet. Between 2003 and 2008, the gain was 82 billion tons of ice per year.
