Framework Convention on Climate Change's goal has been to make sure the Earth doesn't get warmer than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.1 That sounds like a small number, but because it's a global average, it contains all sorts of fluctuations — for the whole planet to get warmer by that amount means that some places are getting much hotter.

Fluctuations in the mass of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are of considerable societal importance as they impact directly on global sea levels: since 1901, ice losses from Antarctica and Greenland, alongside the melting of small glaciers and ice caps and thermal expansion of the oceans, have caused global sea levels to rise at an average rate of 1.7 mm / yr.
