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 C*****e C****e, which show Antarctica is losing ice and driving sea level rise.

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."
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.
