"The true position in Greenland is to be found in Johannessen et al. (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. "

I notice you didn't provide a link.

As of 2006.

Using time-variable gravity measurements from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission, we estimate ice mass changes over Greenland during the period April 2002 to November 2005. After correcting for effects of spatial filtering and limited resolution of GRACE data, estimated total ice melting rate over Greenland is 234 ± 24 km3/year, mostly from East Greenland. This estimate agrees remarkably well with a recent assessment of 224 ± 41 km3/year, based on satellite radar interferometry data. GRACE ice mass changes in southeast Greenland suggest accelerated melting since the summer of 2004, consistent with the latest remote sensing measurements.

From the research in this dissertations, it shows that Greenland lost about 200 cubic kilometers of ice each year on average between 2003 and 2008, causing a global mean rise of sea level by 0.5 mm/yr.
