The pertinent point in the above article:

Zwally still stands by his 2015 study, but in an interview last week, he said nature has recently changed the equation. His team is crunching numbers from the past two years, looking at ice melting and snowfall rates in Antarctica. And they found something startling.

The melt rates in West Antarctica just increased significantly.
The chief scientist of that 2015 study is in agreement with the IPCC conclusion about climate change, is not a climate skeptic, has said his 2015 study is not to be used as evidence of a "warming hoax" and has conducted subsequent research stating that the rates of Antarctic melting are on the rise. This is why he has called climate change a "serious problem we need to do something about" like 99.84% of all other qualified scientists.

I've noticed that's a trend. Deniers, who go from claiming organisations like NASA are part of a "Globalist conspiracy" that create fake data to create a "warming hoax" to solidly latching onto the few studies published again by NASA that they believe confirms their beliefs, without a hint of irony that they believe the data from NASA confirming climate change is falsified. In addition to ignoring the study's authors who say their studies are NOT to be used for climate change denial
