Mass Gains of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Exceed Losses
Jay Zwally

Abstract
During 2003 to 2008, the mass gain of the Antarctic ice sheet from snow accumulation exceeded the mass loss from ice discharge by 49 Gtlyr (2.5% of input), as derived from ICESat laser measurements of elevation change.

When I pointed out a couple of years ago the the University of Texas GRACE interpretations were nonsensical, John Cook wrote three of his dumbest articles “debunking” me and claiming that ice really does rapidly disappear at -30 degrees.
