They are making this new (and of course disputed) claim, because the 2 GRACE satellites measure variations in Earth's mass and gravitational pull: Increases or decreases in the Antarctic ice sheet's mass change the distance between the satellites as they fly over the region.
Wow, how in hell do the calibrate something like that? The fluctuations have to be minute.
