The Antarctic ice sheet is losing mass.

Recorded sources
7 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Antarctic ice sheet is losing mass?

Yes. NASA satellite gravimetry (GRACE/GRACE-FO) reports that Antarctica shed roughly 135 gigatons of ice per year between 2002 and 2025, and several independent satellite studies covering 2003-2016 also find net whole-sheet mass loss, though East Antarctica is gaining mass in some records.
