claimArctic sea ice has experienced a substantial decrease over the satellite record, whereas Antarctic sea ice exhibits a subtle, generally positive linear trend.
measurementApproximately 30% of the global mean sea level increase is due to ocean thermal expansion, 60% is due to the melting of land ice from glaciers and the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, and 10% is attributed to alterations in land water storage.
claimThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attributes the acceleration of sea level rise to a combination of heightened ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
