We're All Gonna DIIIIEEEE!!!1 (or not...)

Remember that whole "the polar ice is gonna melt and flood everything" doom-n-gloom? Well, it seems the apocalypse is being quite the spoiled child, as it isn't keeping to the agreed-upon enviro-nazi schedule:

A new NASA study found that Antarctica has been adding more ice than it's been losing, challenging other research, including that of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that concludes that Earth’s southern continent is losing land ice overall.

In a paper published in the Journal of Glaciology on Friday, researchers from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, the University of Maryland in College Park, and the engineering firm Sigma Space Corporation offer a new analysis of satellite data that show a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001 in the Antarctic ice sheet.

That gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.

Climate scientists caution that these findings don’t mean it’s time to start celebrating the end of global warming. More than anything, the paper shows how difficult it is to measure ice height in Antarctica and that better tools are needed.

See how that works? When skeptics point out that the data upon which "climate change" believers are basing their hypothesis has huge margins of error due to inadequacies in the measuring equipment, we're called "deniers." But when they come across data which obstinately refuses to be hammered into their narrative, suddenly it's a problem with the equipment. Riiiight...

Be ye not concerned, however. They've found a way that all of this ice will yet cause the predicted DOOM:

The ENTIRE West Antarctic ice sheet could collapse and raise global sea levels by 10ft

Like dropping an ice cube in a glass of water. Ten feet globally, no less! Because that's exactly how it works on a planetary scale, you know. Bill Nye the Science Moron says so. Never mind that the bulk of the aforementioned expanding ice sheet is already in the water. But their hypothesis, if you want to dignify it as such, is that when the ever-growing ice sheet [Does Something™], it will result in a massive chain reaction, causing all of the ice on half of a continent to suddenly slide off into the water and turn us all into Bob...

Because that's perfectly rational, you see.
