Antarctica is losing ice mass at an average rate of about 150 billion tons per year, and Greenland is losing about 270 billion tons per year, adding to sea level rise.
Data from NASA's GRACE and GRACE Follow-On satellites show that the land ice sheets in both Antarctica and Greenland have been losing mass since 2002. The GRACE mission ended in June 2017. The GRACE Follow-On mission began collecting data in June 2018 and is continuing to monitor both ice sheets. This record includes new data-processing methods and is continually updated as more numbers come in, with a delay of up to two months.
This is important because the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica store about two-thirds of all the fresh water on Earth. They are losing ice due to the ongoing warming of Earth’s surface and ocean. Meltwater coming from these ice sheets is responsible for about one-third of the global average rise in sea level since 1993.

Climate How does that work The Arctic ice (North of Canada, eh) floats in the Ocean. The Antarctica is predicted to take 500 years or so until it starts to melt dramatically. Cite your conclusions please.
Climate No hell will keep freezing over till people act right...

Climate WOW
Climate nasa please work on the earth too. Earth needs love and care, we can't abuse it and run off to another place, and if we do the people need to go too
Climate Can using lasers to measure the ice be a contributing factor to it melting?
Climate It’s called extinction. Such a wonder that it’s around 40% done & everybody is so chipper💃🏼. Not gonna take long with this kind of smarts at work here 👻
Climate Amazing
Climate Panta rei-Alles fließt. Alles im Universum befindet sich im staendigen Wandel..Das entspricht den Grundsätzen der Thermodynamik. Es ist physikalisch völlig normal, dass das Klima wandelt. Es ist unwissenschaftlich die Fakten zu leugnen.

Climate There is an anime called 'Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet' that tells the story of a human colony on a mostly water-covered planet without ice. The plot revolves around a ship that is probably from a time when the ice had melted a long time ago.
Climate This is a lie. I while bunch of truth holding up one tiny (giant) lie. Evil.
Climate Imagine climate healing nukes imagine realize amen pronto.

Climate Its called climate change! Its been happening for the entire history of the planet. Get used to it.
Climate OMG SHUT UP. FRONT for nefarious doings. Creeps
Climate And the Antarctica's ice? (asking for a friend)
Climate NASA now has as much credibility as The National Enquirer. NASA is now a political organization, not a science organization. A private citizen, Elon Musk, built a company from scratch and buried NASA. That says everything you need to know about the quality of their “science”.
Climate stick to space and no more political BS
Climate Unfortunately, the climate change advocates don't want to talk about the climate change between 700 and 1300 AD which was much longer and higher temps than current marming. What caused the mideveil warming since population low and no petroleum/coal burning?
Climate QI crypto move now 300% up now buy and hold it Qi USDT
Climate So heres my question. Why not take some of these glaciers and place them in areas that need water? Reducing them melting into the sea and helping places in africa etc?! Or place some on the moon for colonisation. Amibeingdumb Nasa NasaWaterProblems
Climate Can you explain this to the GOP?
Climate Go North. Add Floating city and water filtration systems.
Climate Terrifying for those living in the year 2525.
Climate When ice melts, it is happening everywhere because it is from Earth's atmosphere getting warmer. Ice over Kilimanjaro, nearly lost its ice sheets. Thank you, Climate, and my humble greeting to Dr. Brooke Medley.
Climate Not true. It’s actually added ice in the last 5 years …. Next?
Climate OKAY, I don't have a degree in climate change religion, but I do have common sense. Fill a glass with ice. Now pour in some water to nearly the rim. As the ice melts does the water spill over the rim of the glass? Answer is, 'no' it doesn't. Climate change is just a religion.
Climate Wow. What a discovery?
Climate That’s one of the most important thing to look out for.
Climate Awesome. I am like lex Luther o bought my house just far enough away from the ocean to have beach front property soon. Let it melt.
Climate Blink twice if you all (NASA) are were told to not tell us anything about the Chinese balloon. 😂😭
Climate You have astronauts dangling from wires to fake float on ISS. Why would anyone believe NASA?
Climate Better stop building beach front property
Climate More rubbish from the liars at nasa: Not A Space Agency
Climate Instead of all these weird campaigns that I usually hear. Why don't we start a 'Make Earth Cold Again' campaign to raise awareness about global warming. Instead of going around and spreading LGBTQ, BML, and Vegan Shenanigans. What a messed up world we live in?
Climate That's right feed into the liberal way of things. You are pathetic
Climate That's right feed into the liberal way of things. You are pathetic
Climate As a 44 year old man that has surfed all his life, it's a sad fact that I have to call BULLSHIT on this.
Climate the amount of sea level rising is not a problem! the problem is places like Florida and elsewhere for building right on the water line. Coral islands have many things against them such as the very thing they are created from and the destruction of mangroves by mining and tourism.
Climate Not on the Russian side of The Arctic along with plenty if ice for the Polar Bears. Have you seen movies and pictures, they have plenty of what Polar Bears need ICE, cold temperatures, plenty to trash heaps to keep Polar Bears happy along with plenty of sea ice.
Climate But is Antarctica growing. ?
Climate I have seen costal pictures going back more then 100 years and the sea level hasn't risen at all.. and Yes the polar ice melts EVERY YEAR
Climate How much did the sea level rise since the ice sheet started to melt ?
Climate Polar ice has melted before. So is that the real question
Climate The North Pole ice is floating on the water already. If you melted all of it, the sea level would not change a bit. South Pole ice is a different story but it is not melting much.
Climate Is the earth never supposed to change? As a planet in a constant cycle of change this is logically retarded.
Climate When you put ice in a cup and fill it to the brim. And it melts does the cup overflow?
Climate is the chinese weather balloon contributing to the the global warming.....
Climate Its been rising since the end of the last glaciation in the current ice age.
Climate Billions of tonnes of CO2 are emitted into atmosphere by forest fires each year. 89% of forest fires are caused by humans and a vast majority of those fires are deliberately lit by eco-terrorists. Detect and bring to justice the eco-terrorists!
Climate does icebreaking ships affect the thinner ice sheets? Does this breaking of the thin ice sheets make the ice drift off on the ocean currents, whilst also probably layering the broken parts with dirty particulates from the engines fumes? Should we use ice breakers?
Climate Hi NASA Climate NOAAClimate NOAAResearch IPCC_CH UNEP UN4Youth GretaThunberg I heard oceans setting yearly record heat, which is not a very good trend. Once Greenland finishes dumping ice in oceans, then what? +5 degrees? BulletinAtomic POTUS CNBC business WSJ

Climate Thermal Maximus was the best time on earth. Ice Ages not so fun..
Climate How much is due to surface temperature and volcanos under the ice?
Climate Antarctic ice sheet is two miles thick growing a foot a year, when are you going to admit that?
Climate We should have been underwater in the 90s according to nasa, we are still here stop buying their money making scheme nothing is melting
Climate No urlying nasa
Climate We will all be under water soon. Whatever will we do? OMG! lets all panic. Back to scaring people over the climate.
Climate
Climate Uh? Ice has a greater volume than water. Ice in water and melting would do the exact opposite of sea level raise. Just like ice cubes in a glass of water
Climate Blah blah blah earth has only had a north and south ice cap same time on 4 occasions in its entire history mother nature has a cycle and we have to accept that
Climate Less Climate … More 🤬 Space Program!
Climate Why 70% of the total supply of elon is in the US, held by methuselah and crypto, have you ever wondered what it means when Vb transfers all dogelons to methuslah and not somewhere else. yes since it's a secret mission, the explosion will happen at any moment.mfoundation
Climate What was the ice sheet thickness in 1910
Climate It’s fine to wish you could fix it. But the fix is impossible. You’d have to stop the sun from getting bigger.
Climate Philippines grants USA great access To bases amid China concerns.and Million Ukrainian refugees in EU.
Climate But your own Data showed that the Antarctic Ice freeze grew by a Third of its Size only a few years ago. Ouch, how does your Climate Agenda Propaganda being Debunked by your own information feel? I thought Employees at NASA were supposed to be at least half intelligent. NASA
Climate Unfortunately lies. So sad & disappointing to see from a credible we all trust & admire. Been on this rodeo ride rock for half a century now & the seasons haven’t changed nor have the ocean levels here on the West Coast. Exactly the same.
Climate bring back z1
Climate Cool and people think WE can stop it? laughable.
Climate 😆😁👎
Climate The ice will still melting since we used unclean energy
Climate No it's not...... Not unless it's over sea level and drops.

Climate You get funded to produce Climate change conspiracy theories
Climate
Climate Mmmm
Climate What would be another cause?
Climate I noticed a lack of statistics on how much the sea level has changed over what period of time. Is it a significant or insignificant change? I’ll be alarmed if it’s 3 feet in 3 years, not so much if it’s 3 inches in 100 years. Did NASA inform the Obama’s before they moved?
Climate Is nasa fudging the data
Climate Total BS… 🥱 “Sea level has been rising for the past 200 years….Humans are not going to stop sea level rise on the time scale of a few centuries by ceasing emissions of CO2.”
Climate Have the polar ice caps been there since the beginning of time?
Climate Why is more water a problem?
Climate It's alarming to see how quickly polar ice is melting. We must take action to reduce our carbon emissions and protect our planet. ClimateChange ActOnClimate ProtectOurPlanet
Climate Compared to thermal expansion?
Climate Ice melts. Water freezes. Politics are lies. nASA is run by a liar. Bill Nelson is a senile disgrace.
Climate Excessive drought on land, excessive water in the oceans due to ice melt. Fix to both problems: bring the ice to melt on land 👨🏫
Climate Do a little research you'll see the military coming together up there they're melting the ice to get to the minerals it's not rocket science to figure out their patterns
Climate The Antarctic ice sheet has been growing over the last couple decades. Your science is lacking data
Climate Psychic predicting flood
Climate First, Dr. Medley should be working for NOAA not NASA. Second, with its limited budget NASA needs to concentrate on space and aeronautics. Each agency needs to be mutually exclusive to it's namesake.
Climate 🤡🤡🤡
Climate
Climate If the earth was getting colder, would it be a climate issue or concern if polar ice was increasing?
Climate Answering your own questions. Woke and weird. Poor nasa, used to be great.
Climate Ice melts equals freedom
Climate Serious question, if sea levels are rising and have been for decades, why are coastal cities still intact?
Climate The problem of greenhouse gas emission is serious. It is suggested that the annual rate of sea level rise could more than triple by 2100.🌌🪩
Climate Everyone should be much more concerned about the coming Ice Age!
Climate ... climate change it is ...
Climate Time to sequester carbon.
Climate 'It’s the number one contributor to sea level rise', so far.
Climate The propaganda machine.
Climate NASA whose funding comes totally from the leftist government checkbook. Explain to us exactly how you measure global sea levels without conjecture and false science
Climate while some ice is melting, other ice is freezing at a greater rate then the ice melting. But hey lets kill all the trees by sequestering all CO2 in storage owned by the richest people on earth. I am sure they won't try to sell it back to us once trees start to die.
Climate Keep yer icebreakers outa the artic and maybe itll stop breaking up! Yalls the problem!!!
Climate Bullshit
Climate Why is there no evidence of sea level rise anywhere where I live within the last 80 years then? its not selective, either its rising due to melting ice or its not, unless you want to rewrite physics
Climate Yes
Climate Isn’t the ice age ending? Has this not happened before? We keep finding civilization and animals as the ice melts. More concerned about the axis shifting because of weight redistribution.
Climate 🤣😂🤣😂
Climate It is subtle; but the real issue is ice on land like Greenland and Antarctic that matters. At most we have 10 years of laser satellite data to measure a multi-millennial event. Let’s see what the data shows over time. Do outputs always or often exceed additions?
Climate
Climate If we give you more tax money will it you make it stop?
Climate Don't forget about the 100,000 year problem!
Climate Didn’t the tell ex president Obama and Biden they both have expensive beachside properties 😂😂
Climate Focus on space
Climate Pretty sure more important than the level of water is the level of pollution.
Climate So for everyone who slept through 10 grade chemistry - how much will ice floating in water raise the water level once it melts?
Climate And yet in some areas it’s actually growing.
Climate I guess we need to defund NASA
Climate OF COURSE they are melting because our climate constantly changes over time. In another 10000 years they are probably freezing again and the water levels would sink.
Climate Good.
Climate Where does human stand?
Climate No it’s Not!! The polar ice is at 20 year high this is a well known fact. It’s also a well know fact that NASA has been manipulating data and lying about this for many years, sad really..
Climate It is minute and certainly does not warrant the climate change expense the left loves.
Climate 🫀
Climate Ok if you were going to freeze the cap what would be the temperature and for how long would you keep it frozen. For the polar bears sake?
Climate ASK MUSK FOR HELP
Climate And it'll take 100's of thousands of years...
Climate Dr. I have only a few months to freeze the polar cap. Should I make it colder there to have an impact?
Climate I guess the Obama's real-estate agent forgot to mention this to them.
Climate No, it's not.
Climate No.
Climate Sea ice extent has increased somewhat in the eastern Ross Sea sector, while it has decreased in the seas around the Antarctic Peninsula. In short, Antarctic sea ice shows a nearly flat trend, but large-scale variations make the trend very noisy. Source: NASA
Climate Well, i wish you people would admit this is a high energy proton thing instead of a human influence kind-of thing. SunWeatherMan i'm sure you're going to be eager to report on this. -sigh-
Climate Sea level rise? really?
Climate Im willing to be one of those people that would interstellar travel with astronauts giving the risk and cause of saving humanity even if we soon reach mars
Climate Isn't it an invetible cycle that the planet goes through?
Climate Jeremiah 5:22 (ESV) Do you not fear me? declares the LORD. Do you not tremble before me? I placed the sand as the boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass; though the waves toss, they cannot prevail; though they roar, they cannot pass over it.
Climate If I'm not mistaken most of the ice sheets are in the ocean and have buoyancy there for their is displacement already in the ocean so no significant rises in ocean levels. Just like when the ice in your cup melts the level of water stays the same. Science!!!
Climate Of course it's melting. Look at the number of obese black people in America sucking up and consuming and shitting out all the resources until the whole thing will just run dry, overheat and everything will melt the sea level will rise and they'll all get wiped out.
Climate Does ice melt and then water freeze?
Climate Then explain the Quaternary Glaciation.
Climate Isn’t the reason why the polar ice caps are melting because we’re heading out of the Ice Age?
Climate Is it contributing more than the water expanding due to higher temperatures? I feel like polar ice volume is insignificant compared to ocean water volume?
