🏔️ Antarctica is losing about 136 billion tons of ice mass per year, and Greenland is losing 267 billion tons. What you're seeing: two charts reveal a dramatic decline in ice sheet mass in both Antarctica and Greenland since 2002. Why this matters: 💧 Together, these two frozen areas store about two-thirds of Earth's fresh water. 🌊 Since 1993, one-third of the global average sea level rise has been caused by their melting. Freshwater supply in many regions depends on glaciers, snow, and ice. These are vital resources for drinking water, agriculture, and life on the planet. As glaciers melt, our fresh water supplies diminish, threatening communities worldwide. We must amplify #Glaciers2025. Urgent #ClimateAction cannot wait: the time to act is now.
