2. Weather Studies Ch. 15 states "scientists have found the rate of melt on the Antarctic and
Greenland ice sheets to now be the dominant contributor to sea level rise, along with ocean
thermal expansion, both of which are being caused by anthropogenic forcings." Is this
statement consistent with the date plotted on the NOAAClimate.gov graphic (adapted from
State of the Climate 2018)? [(Yes) (No)]
