A Drop in the Ocean?

A satellite study has recorded that record temperatures melting Greenland's ice has increased the sea level by 2.2 mm in only 2 months (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/mar/19/greenland-ice-melt-sea-level-rise-climate-crisis). This may sound like a tiny amount but the amount of ice melted to produce this effect is astounding. Yet another reason why we need to counter the release of 'greenhouse gases'.
