Article Synopsis – “During the exceptionally warm Arctic summer of 2019, Greenland lost 600 billion tons of ice, enough to raise global sea levels by 2.2 millimeters in two months. Between 2002 and 2019, Greenland lost 4,550 billion tons of ice, an average of 268 billion tons annually – less than half what was shed last summer.” West Antarctica also continued to lose ice last summer, but East Antarctica gained some ice due to an increase in snowfall.
