Covering the moon's surface with 49,000 gigatonnes of ice

Global sea level has risen by about 8 inches since 1901. This rise is due to a combination of melting ice and water expanding due to increased temperatures. While we don’t have precise measurements, scientific models indicate that melting ice has caused about two-thirds of sea level rise to date. NASA estimate that 49,000 gigatonnes of ice have melted over that time frame: enough ice to cover the entire contiguous U.S. in a sheet of ice 22 feet high, or coat the entire surface of the Moon in a 5-foot sheet of ice. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2933/visualizing-the-quantities-of-climate-change/
