  • NASA admits Antarctic Ice Sheet is growing – Confirms what I’ve been saying all along.
See the source image"A new NASA study, released on Friday, admits that ice is accumulating in Antarctica.
Satellite measurements show an 82-112 gigaton-a-year net ice gain
That’s 82-112 billion tons per year! 
Nine zeroes!  
112,000,000,000 tons. 
Per year.
It’s hard to comprehend how much ice that really is, so let’s put it in perspective.
Let’s assume that they’re talking short tons (2,000 lbs). 
That’s about the weight of an old VW Beetle.
Those old Beetles measured 14 feet long.  
Multiply 112 billion by 14 feet and you get 1,560 billion feet. 
Divide that by the distance from the earth to the moon (239,000 miles),  and you’d have a string of VW Beetles stretching all the way to the moon.
Not once, not twice, but 45 times.  
All the way to the moon.
That’s a helluva lot of new ice. 
Every single year..."
