Privatisation eh? The gift that just keeps on giving.
The rate had already increased to more than 3 mm/yr by the first decade of this century. The decadal rate fluctuates a bit and has exceeded 4.5 mm/yr at times, but over the most recent 10 years it is a fraction under 4 mm/yr.

🧪🌊🧵 The oceans are undoubtedly under severe stress, but the figures quoted in this Guardian article for acceleration of mean sea-level rise here are misleading. 2 mm/yr before 2015 is only correct if you're taking an average of the previous 100 years.

There is something magical about the juxtaposition of ice and the ocean. Unfortunately though, warming and changes in ocean circulation are increasingly turning this association into an unhealthy one for the ice.
