Plus amongst others publicized in
Nature and a simple math even you can do: Arctic looses ice (positive contribution), Antarctic gaines ice (negative contribution).
From Davis et al the below graph:
As usual nature has it ups and downs as shown in above graph. Sharp declines in 95 and 01 are "gefundenes fressen" for alarmists like Al Bore with his dramatic breaking ice shelves images. The long term trend since 92 however is upwards.

more bullshit. "Antarctica is losing about 36 cubic miles of ice per year."

More drama. I raise your one Wash Post article with 6:
“As climate shifts, Antarctic ice sheet is growing” –Los Angeles Times, May 20, 2005
“Scientists link global warming to Antarctic’s ice cap’s growth” –Chicago Tribune, May 20, 2005
“Antarctica ice cap thickens” –Pittsburgh Post Gazette, May 20, 2005
“Warming is blamed for Antarctic’s weight gain” –New York Times, May 20, 2005
“Ice sheet confounds climate theory” – The Telegraph, May 20, 2005
“Antarctica ice cap thickens, slowing rise in sea levels” – Pioneer Press, May 20, 2005
Most of the decrease in ice on Antarctica is on the Western Pensinsula. The, much bigger, Eastern part has an increase of ice mass, which of course is conveniently forgotten by the AGW Taliban.
