In 1960, scientists explained how global warming made the Antarctic ice sheet grow.
Now scientists explain that global warming makes the Antarctic ice sheet shrink.
Satellites measure Antarctica is … losing land ice at an accelerating rate which has implications for sea level rise.
the ice sheets are sensitive to warming temperatures and are going to cause significant sea level rise over this century (and beyond).
Global warming is truly amazing, in that it can simultaneously produce all possible outcomes.
There is a huge difference between land ice and sheet ice, land ice is melting increasing the levels of the ocean, sheet ice is just ice that forms on the water, it freezes and thaws every year not contributing to the overall sea leavls. On top of that warmer air does have the ability to absorb more moisture which would create more sheet ice when the air cooled at antartica and released the stored water. your site is total bull.

Ok, put forward measurements showing the sea level rise has increased, please .. Record low temperature at the Antarctic of minus 89 C. What kind of ice melts at minus 89 C.?

Complete drivel from start to finish.
There is no acceleration in the rate of sea level rise as would result from increased rate of land ice melt – in fact there is evidence that the rate has in fact slowed over the past few years – and further, Greenland’s icecap appears to be increasing in mass.
As to atmospheric water vapour, of the three analyses of NASA’s NVAP satellite data, two – Humlum and Vonder Haar – show the change from the late 1970s to be effectively trendless and Solomon et al shows a decrease of approximately 10% in the decade post-2000.
You would possess more credibility if you acquired your information from peer reviewed sources rather than crackpot alarmist blogs, as toy clearly do at present.

You’re right, Greenland’s surface has gained over 500 billion tons of ice since September, ref.: https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/arctic-sea-ice-extent-highest-in-a-decade-2/
