Contra what others are saying: it's obviously not a measured increase, but an estimate based on calculated volume of ice. Assuming the paper they're referring to is this one: https://www.the-cryosphere-discuss.net/tc-2020-89/ https://www.the-cryosphere-discuss.net/tc-2020-89/ What's more, the "results" are entirely based on models rather than any empirical data. Amusingly, another paper in the same journal published a few days earlier, uses models and empirical data to conclude that 2019 was a particularly weird year rather than any ominous thing: https://www.the-cryosphere.net/14/1209/2020/ https://www.the-cryosphere.net/14/1209/2020/ This sort of "science by press release" is entirely unhelpful. People have completely bonkers views as to what CO2 induced warming will do to things like sea level. To the point where people (with ph.d.s in hard sciences even) have expressed concern when I bought a house a kilometer from a coastline that is 200 feet above sea level.
