Original Note:
The Antarctic is not losing ice, as suggested by the tweet. It still gaining ice, but at a lower rate than in the past. http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/files/2023/08/asina_S_iqr_timeseries.png Over the record, Antarctic ice maximum is showing an insignificant INCREASING trend. The period 1985-2014 was a significant positive trend. https://www.climate.gov/media/15124
