Original Note:
This tweet conflates Antarctic ice shelves with all the ice in Antarctica. The referenced study discusses growth of Antarctic ice shelves only. This is separate from the Antarctic ice sheet which is much larger and shrinking much faster than the ice shelves are growing. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinanderton/2019/02/21/ice-gains-in-some-parts-of-antarctica-arent-offsetting-its-losses-infographic/amp/
