We watched a live movies of the old ice quickly sliding into the sea years ago, it is real but some would rather shift blame or go into denial rather than just look at the issue and see if indeed anything can be done or not. It's a real life event occurring.

Calving is normal process. Glaciers are frozen rivers, when they reach the sea a part breaks off, the ice remaining flows down and new ice is formed at the head of the river. Nature at work.
