Another study, another reason for worrying.

This time it's the Arctic ocean; we're losing ice and the sea-level is rising. That's the conclusion of a study published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study estimates that Greenland’s glaciers went from dumping about 51 billion tons of ice into the ocean between 1980 to 1990, to 286 billion tons between 2010 and 2018. This has caused the sea-level to rise about 14 millimeters (one-half inch) since 1972, half of which has occurred in the past eight years.

We are losing ice at a more rapid clip. Ice losses in the 1990s were about 41 billion tons per year, but by the 2000s they were 187 billion tons — and by the 2010s, 286 billion tons.
