claim: ( 2005 ), where satellite altimetry  established that the mean thickness of the entire Greenland ice sheet  had increased at 2 inches per year – a total of almost 2 feet – in the  11 years 1993-2003.”
evidence: Assessment of the data and techniques suggests a mass balance for the Greenland Ice Sheet ranging between growth of 25 Gt / yr and loss of 60 Gt / yr for 1961 to 2003, loss of 50 to 100 Gt / yr for 1993 to 2003 and loss at even higher rates between 2003 and 2005.
