Yes...
... but that's not a good thing: it just indicates higher levels of precipitation, which you only get when there's more water in the atmosphere, which you get because of rising global temperatures.

And, of course, water vapour's a powerful greenhouse gas in its own right.

Thickening ice-sheets are used by climate-change deniers as evidence that the whole thing's not true. In fact, the opposite is the case. They demonstrate that things're quite bad.


I think.

Exactly, plus the ice sheets are
only growing in Antartica (as far as I know). In the rest of the world, they are melting significantly. This is especially true in Greenland which holds an incredible amount of water which, as it is on land instead of already in the water (like the artic ice cap) will cause oceans to rise. Don't but any seafront land!
