A study published in Scientific Data reports that approximately 12.5 trillion tons of ice have melted from Greenland and Antarctica since 1979, contributing to a global sea level rise of about one inch. The research highlights that the melting is primarily driven by warmer ocean waters rather than air temperatures, and it indicates a concerning trend linked to climate change.
