Scientists Caught Inflating Antarctic Ice Losses 3000% More
Than Observations

determines Antarctic-wide ice shelves gained Climate Change
661 Gt of mass from 2009 to 2019. An approach
relying on assumptions of an unrealistic
“steady state” or fixed calving flux (instead of
real-world time-variable observations) estimates a net
Antarctic ice shelf loss of -20,028 Gt over this same 11-year
period – a more than 30-fold distortion of observed ice loss.

New research (Andreasen et al., 2023) uses observational evidence from


MODIS to assess net ice losses, gains for 34 ice shelves across Antarctica from
2009-2019. These observed data show the mass gains from East Antarctica and
the Ross and Ronne-Filchner ice shelves were larger on net than the mass
losses in West Antarctica and the Peninsula. Consequently, Antarctica as a
whole has been gaining mass since 2009.

“Overall, the Antarctic ice shelf area has grown by 5,305 km² since 2009,
with 18 ice shelves retreating and 16 larger shelves growing in area.”

Most studies utilize an alarmism-friendly “steady-state assumption” approach Categories


to estimate ice losses “in the absence of observations.” This allows the agenda-
