It sounds simple, but scientists have debated for decades whether both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets actually were shrinking, and how much that melting contributed to r
12、ising sea levels.Now, a new study has provided the best evidence of how the polar ice sheets are responding to our warming world.

The researchers also found that between 1992 and 2011, melt water from those shrinking ice sheets caused sea levels to rise by about 11 millimeters.Over the 19 years studied, the Greenland ice sheet lost 2.7 trillion metric tons of ice. The Antarcti
