 Antarctica Gained 200 Billion Tons of Ice During Recent Two-Year Period, Surprising Scientists

While Antarctic ice sheet loss has averaged around 147 gigatons per year for the period between 2010 and 2020, a remarkable reversal occurred at the opening of this decade.

Writing in China Earth Sciences, researchers at Tongji University, led by Dr. Wei Wang and Professor Yunzhong Shen, reported that East Antarctica’s Wilkes Land and Queen Mary Land region recorded 108 gigatons of average ice sheet mass gain per year from 2021 to 2023.

1 gigaton is equivalent to 1 billion tons, and 108 gigatons is the equivalent weight of 1.5 million of America’s flagship aircraft carriers, to use a silly bit of context to aid the reader in their imaginings.

 The growth period included several years in which various parts of the globe saw some of highest temperatures on record.

The southern continent has offered a surprise that, literally speaking, the worst effects of climate change actually can be delayed and reversed.

ha ha ha ha ha ha. 88 to 90% of human population lives in the Northern hemisphere and of the same global population 82% lives in the Eastern Hemisphere.
that 12 hours midnight to noon west of the international dateline longitude. where two calendar days exist same rotation of the planet factually here, dawn to dusk.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. America has only existed in the last 240 years, while eastern hemisphere dates back 7,000 years. Guess why the whole world hates the USA even though 90% of this country's population came from the rest of the world and stopped believing in their traditional values life is more than time adapting in plain sight even though politics in this country is trying to revert back to old world traditions of 7,000 years building a New World Order, daily.

this country was founded on genetic outcomes are equally created to be alive in series parallel time occupying space so far. Going north or south of the equator one will hit an icecap depending on 1 of 2 solstices annually winter 6 months apart.
