18. ‘More Ice Is Forming in Antarctica, So Global Warming Is a Lie’
This myth confuses short-term or regional changes with global trends. There’s a crucial difference between sea ice and land ice. While some areas of Antarctic sea ice have fluctuated, the continent’s massive land ice sheets are losing mass at an alarming rate.
According to the NSIDC, overall Antarctic ice loss is contributing to sea level rise. Focusing on isolated ice increases ignores the bigger, more troubling picture.
