  • As per the report, if greenhouse gas emissions continue, Greenland and Antarctica's ice sheets could together contribute more than 38 cm to global sea level rise by 2100.
  • In the lower emissions scenario, the loss from the ice sheet would raise global sea level by about 1.3 inches (3 cm).
  • The findings are in line with projections in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 2019 Special Report on Oceans and the Cryosphere or portions of Earth's surface where water is in solid form.
