By all means show the detail once we have people's attention but what needs to be understood is the total ice mass loss.

How does research see the mechanism of the global ice mass taking up its latent heat of fusion as giving us a false sense of security regarding global warming?

To reach further back in time and provide a long - term record that can inform global climate models, scientists are turning to other means of measuring ice mass.

So we see a long term trend of accelerating ice mass loss since the 1970s.

In the wake of an ice shelf collapse, however, the resulting glacier acceleration can raise sea level by introducing a new ice mass into the ocean.

It can not tell the difference between ice mass and rock mass.

While this is unlikely for the foreseeable future, even a partial loss of these huge ice masses could have a significant effect on coastal areas.

They investigated using different parameter values in the model and exploring the variation in the result and found a great deal of variation in ice mass loss rates was possible.

It is virtually impossible to predict exactly when ice masses of this size will calve.

The observed widespread warming of the atmosphere and ocean, together with ice mass loss, support the conclusion that it is extremely unlikely that global climate change of the past 50 years can be explained without external forcing, and very likely that it is not due to known natural causes alone.

When doing this with sea level data, as with OHC, as with tropospheric sensible heat, as with glacial ice mass loss, we are seeing a background, longer - term change that is non-linear, and for several decades now, accelerating.
