From the same link:

> As mentioned, satellites measuring the ice sheet mass have observed a loss of around 200 Gt/year over the last decade.

Looking at the data for one year is not very useful. This is a long term process, as the long article you didn't read went to great pains to explain.

Fair enough. It would also be useful to know that 200 GT/year translates into 0.01% per year. Or 1% per century. It's indeed a long term process.
