- Greenland has lost more ice than it gained for 30 consecutive years.
- Chinese researchers estimate Greenland lost about 120 gigatonnes of ice per year from 2002 to 2023.
- This estimate is 55% lower than the American estimate.
- The new model uses satellite altimetry data to measure ice loss.
- The findings highlight the ongoing impact of global warming on Greenland's ice sheet.
