Original Note:
The Greenland ice sheet holds ~2.9M Gt of ice. Losing 262.8 Gt/year (~30M tons/hr), it would take ~11,035 years to melt entirely. At this rate, it adds ~0.73 mm/year to sea level rise (~1 ft every ~417 years). Ice loss rates could change, but current impacts are minimal. http://sealevel.nasa.gov/understanding-
