Except antarctic ice has been increasing according to a nasa study.

Fixed it. A single study indicates that ice has been increasing. Most other studies have indicated the opposite. The study in question measured ice height over a limited time. Studies measuring ice mass indicate the opposite. There are lots of possibilities why the ice height might be higher, yet the total mass might be lower. The most likely is that snowfall has been higher, which seems to be the case, yet isn't consolidating as fast as the ice is melting. That could mean that the top of the snow pack, which is what is actually being measured and not the actual ice, has increased.

And that is not the same thing.
