new study suggests Antarctica isn't shrinking after all — it's getting larger.

The latest data from NASA shows Antarctica is actually gaining ice mass thanks to snow and instead of driving sea level rise, may actually be slowing it down.

NASA says this "challenges" the latest published findings from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which show Antarctica is losing ice and driving sea level rise.

The proof, according to NASA, is Antarctica's inland snowfall. Jay Zwally, the agency's lead cryosphere researcher, says, "Our main disagreement is for east Antarctica and the interior of west Antarctica — there, we see an ice gain that exceeds the losses in the other areas."

Neither is the Arctic

The Arctic is sea ice. The supposed threat was Antarctic ice melting would raise sea levels. Sea Ice makes no difference since the buoyancy already carried the weight of the ice.
