Not from the Daily Telegraph. It's from Sky News quoting a NASA report. Leftwits, attempt to refute.

Cherrypicking local effects does not refute global warming.

Also the report highlighted that oceans are still rising, so simply the systems involved are far more complex than they previously thought.

Though, leave it up to the Australian media to spin this into a "Climate change isn't real" story.

But more ice is still leaving the Antarctic and forming and extending sea ice. When these shelves let go, drift off and melt they will cause significant sea level rises.

The simplest things elude Joke Monk.

Known underwater volcanos spew out mass. Unknown volcanos do too except the mass is of unknown quantity. It all raises sea level.

I was waiting for some dope to say that melting sea ice raises sea levels.  Jovial is dumb enough to say so.

Jovial has run away after his horrible faux pas about melting sea ice raising sea levels.

The facts are- and this is the beginning of all climate change theory: the southern hemisphere is colder than the northern hemisphere!

  ** Working out why this was the observed reality led to 100 years plus of scientific method on the oceanic conveyor knows as the thermo-haline cycle.

That would be true if Antarctica was suffering a net ice loss. As Antarctica is still accreting ice, according to NASA; that would seem not to be so. All other things being equal.

Gore said Ice is decreasing when the truth is it has increased.

Only in Antarctica and the glaciers there are thinning and more ice is going into the sea, making ice shelves bigger. That snow from way past is compacting into ice has nothing to do with anything.

That's not what the study says. Ice mass is increasing.

And in a further study released today-

'The Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic ice sheet has been losing mass in recent decades; however, long records of snow accumulation are needed to place the recent changes in context. Here we present 300 year records of snow accumulation from two ice cores drilled in Ellsworth Land, West Antarctica. The records show a dramatic increase in snow accumulation during the twentieth century, linked to a deepening of the Amundsen Sea Low (ASL), tropical sea surface temperatures, and large-scale atmospheric circulation. The observed increase in snow accumulation and interannual variability during the late twentieth century is unprecedented in the context of the past 300 years and evidence that the recent deepening of the ASL is part of a longer trend.'

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2015GL065750/abstract?campaign=wlytk-41855.5282060185

or the press release from the American Geophysical Union-

http://news.agu.org/press-release/west-antarctic-coastal-snow-accumulation-rose-30-percent-during-20th-century-new-study-finds/

'Annual snow accumulation increased in the early 20th century, rising 30 percent between 1900 and 2010, according to the new study. The study’s authors found that in the last 30 years of the study, the ice sheet gained nearly 5 meters (16 feet) more water than it did during the first 30 years of the studied time period.'

From the article linked in the OP:


Quote:

According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed   to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008. “We’re essentially in agreement with other studies that show an increase in ice discharge in the Antarctic Peninsula and the Thwaites and Pine Island region of West Antarctica,” [My emphasis] said Jay Zwally, a glaciologist with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and lead author of the study, which was published on Oct. 30 in the Journal of Glaciology. “Our main disagreement is for East Antarctica and the interior of West Antarctica – there, we see an ice gain that exceeds the losses in the other areas.”  Zwally added that his team “measured small height changes over large areas, as well as the large changes observed over smaller areas.”

So as I said, more and more ice (glaciers thinning at an increasing rate) are losing ice to iceshelves around the coast. This ice will melt causing sea level increases when the shelves let go.

LOL :D :D :D

Only if there is a net ice mass loss. An ice mass gain will logically reduce sea level, all other thing being equal.

That would seem a little hard to understand for most AGW nutters
