"Ice loss in Antarctica since 1980 - interactive More than 4 trillion tonnes of ice from Greenland and Antarctica has melted in the past 20 years and flowed into the oceans, pushing up sea levels. The revelations come from a landmark study that provides by far the best measure to date of the effect climate change is having on the planet's biggest ice sheets"
