Re: The biggest glacial break ever recorded.
Watching this makes me wonder, is it climate change that's making the glaciers and poles melt? Or is it that it's just taken this long for residual ice from the ice age to melt?

It's not melting, it's calving. This doesn't happen because it's hot, but because it snowed.

Snow falls on the land and doesn't melt, then more snow falls on top of it the next year, and the next. That snow compresses down and turns into a glacier. As more snow falls on top, the weight of the new snow causes the glacier to flow or grow. As long as more snow keeps falling, the glacier keeps growing until has filled up all the land and then starts flowing into the sea.

Once in the sea, the tidal forces start to work on it. This causes small crack, which get bigger and then eventually force chunks of the glacier to break off and float away as an iceberg. At this point, the ice still hasn't melted. It happens in both extremely cold and extremely hot years.

After a while, the iceberg gets picked up by a tide and is pulled to an area where the temperature is warmer and then it melts. If this didn't happen the entire planet would be covered in ice and we would all be dead.

FACT - POLAR ICE (north and south pole combined) is currently at the 30 year average. While Northern Hemisphere snow is at a 30 year high. (From satellite data.) The MSM will never mention that because it doesn't fit with their 'WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE UNLESS YOU SEND US ALL YOUR MONEY!' motif.

 Quoting: Bilbo Baggins


probably both. only a moron denies that pumping huge quantities of chemicals measured in billions of tons/day known to trap heat within the earth's atmosphere does not cause warming. that being said, there are cyclical conditions that occur on the earth, for example during the age of the dinosaurs greenhouse gas levels were ~2x higher than they are now, although average temperatures were also considerably higher.

Ice is melting, glaciers are receding at an accelerated rate, the seas are rising,,, So what's the difference between climate change and the "residual" end of the ice age?

No one has ever seen a perfect circle, nor a perfectly straight line, yet everyone knows what a circle and a straight line are.
Perceived circles or lines are not exactly circular or straight, and true circles and lines could never be detected since by definition they are sets of infinitely small points.
