Melting land-ice + AMOC

This is how much 30 mio tons of land-ice is: an ice-cube that can contain 9 Eiffel Towers standing upright 3×3. Due to the shape 4 more would fit in, upside down.

This much ice is now melting off Greenland every hour !

Whilst oceans are big, there are many hours in a decade. Beside influencing AMOC it also contributes to accelerating sea-level rise.
