Even 2 trillion tonnes sounds like a very small amount of water compared to what must be getting redistributed by climate change? The Antarctic ice sheet alone weighs around 25,000 trillion tonnes. So even just melting 0.1% (25 trillion tonnes) of it would move far more water into the oceans than we've ever pumped from groundwater!
