it’s lost 11 quadrillion pounds of water since 1972? I wonder what percentage that is of 321 million cubic miles of water in the oceans? Probably not much if NYC, SF and Miami are still well above the waterline.

Assuming your numbers are correct, I calculate 0.037%. Of course, I'm rusty with numbers and I could be way off.

11 quadrillion pounds is about 5 trillion cubic metres of water.
That’s about 4.740 km^3 every year of change

This year the amount of ice is up. Go figure.
