    The period 1990–2000 showed an average annual loss of 41 Gt/y, [21] with 1996 being the last year the Greenland ice sheet saw net mass gain. As of 2022, the Greenland ice sheet had been losing ice for 26 years in a row, [18] and temperatures there had been the highest in the entire past last millennium – about 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) warmer than ...

    29 August: a study published in Nature Climate Change projected, based on 2000–2019 climatology, that 3.3% of the Greenland ice sheet will melt, resulting in 274 millimetres (10.8 in) of global sea level rise—with "most" of the rise within the 21st century—regardless of how well greenhouse gas release is limited.
