A groundbreaking study using NASA’s own satellite data has shown that Antarctica—the supposed “canary in the coal mine” for catastrophic global warming—has actually gained massive amounts of ice in recent years. Despite high global temperatures and endless doomsday predictions of melting polar ice caps flooding coastal cities, the Antarctic Ice Sheet recorded a record-breaking mass gain from 2021 to 2023, adding over 100 billion tons of ice per year. Published in March 2025 in Science China Earth Sciences by researchers from Tongji University, the peer-reviewed study analyzed more than two decades of data from NASA’s GRACE and GRACE Follow-On satellites. These instruments, designed specifically to track ice mass changes, revealed a dramatic reversal: after moderate losses early in the 2000s, Antarctica shifted to net ice gain at a rate of approximately 108 gigatons per year during 2021–2023. This gain was so significant that it temporarily offset global sea level rise by about 0.3 mm p
