Conveniently left out of reports like this is that while Greenland may have lost 2B tons of ice, it did not then lose 2B tons of the meltwater. Most of the meltwater will continue to sit there right where it is, and then turn back into ice in short order, or at least when the summer melt season ends. So the net loss of ice, if any, will be quite low.
