Glaciers are on land and are receding my example. Icebergs are in the water your example. The icebergs break off from the glaciers increasing the volume the more icebergs the greater the volume.

All that is true----but it's just the how, not the why

The why is that glaciers melt, (slowly), because the Earth is warming. DOH.

But the Earth has been warming for the last 20,000 years. Before that it cooled for 45, 000 years, and before that, etc. etc.

And all that happened without any help whatsoever from our Neanderthal and Cro Magnon ancestors. So who are the real "climate change deniers"?
