Greenland has lost between 3 500 en 5 000 billion tons of ice over the past two decades.
The total volume of the ice is 2 850 000 cubic kilometres which tranlates to 3 million billion tons of ice.
Say 5 000 billion tons were lost divide that by 2 850 000 billions tons, then 0,002 or 0,2% (one fifth of one percent) has been lost in total over the pas two decades.
This year, 2022, the total amount of ice in Greenland seems to be increasing: Source http://polarportal.dk/en/greenland/surface-conditions/
