Remarkably, that question was too hard for the National Science Foundation.

Do you wonder why so much research is so abysmal?

They evaluate about 40,000 grant requests per year, determine who's doing the best science, and hand out some 10,000 grants.
It ought to scare you to death.

Nor is it iceberg calving, or sublimation.
It's SNOWFALL.
Google "lake/ocean-effect snowfall" (LOES).

There are two reasons for the accelerated snowfall accumulation. One is LOES. Do you know what the other reason is?

Some studies find increase, others decrease. All say the rate of change is minuscule. Even the appalling JPL Earth Science Propaganda Team page which Wowbagger screenshotted shows only 151 Gt/yr (which is negligible).

It reports an Antarctic ice mass trend of −12 ±64 Gt/yr, which is a fancy way of saying "approximately zero." (12 Gt/yr = 0.1 inch/century,)

Nope. Not 3"/year.

273 Gt/year of grounded ice mass loss would add up to just 3" of sea-level rise PER CENTURY.

The JPL propaganda team deliberately use inappropriate units to mislead readers into thinking it's a problem. (Your tax dollars at work.)
