This issue is the potential catastrophic consequences, if we let the ice shelves melt to the point that the West Antarctic ice sheet collapses -- increased snowfall is negligible by comparison.

Accelerated global warming is causing increased snowfall over ice sheets, especially Antarctica -- and this shows up as at least intermittent ice sheet mass gain in gravity satellite data.
