Greenland and Antarctica
are collectively losing about 370 billion metric tons of ice annually, a fourfold increase since the 1990s. 

Even if global warming is limited
to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, projections indicate a potential sea-level rise of 1–2 meters over the coming centuries. 

Antarctic and Greenland ice changes have reached record lows for the fourth consecutive year. Recent satellite data from ESA and NASA reveal significant elevation changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet, indicating substantial ice loss.
