It's still interesting that Antarctic ice is growing (according to this study at least). I've certainly never heard that before. In fact I've heard lots about Antarctic ice melting.
From the NASA press release:
> “The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.”
Apparently the study contradicts the IPCC report in a pretty significant way. The press release does mention that the trend is not good, but the idea that Antarctica is gaining ice is news to me.
