The world's glaciers and ice sheets are melting according to this extensive report. It makes recommendations on how to monitor this situation, explains what we know about the past when there was much less ice in the world, describes what the data tells us about ice loss today, and how our climate and the sea level are being impacted. Very detailed, with specific examples from the Arctic and Antarctic regions. (Updated: November 15, 2012)
