 Greenland has lost more than 4.2 trillion tons of ice since 1992, which has raised global sea levels 0.4 inches. The rate of that melt increased sevenfold, from 36 billion tons per year in the 1990s to 280 billion tons per year in the past decade. Antarctica's glacial melting is also speeding up. In the 1980s, Antarctica lost 40 billion tons of ice annually. In the past decade, that number jumped to an average of 252 billion tons per year.
