If AGW around Greenland is so prevalent, then how is so much overhanging sea ice available to calve off?

Generally sea ice over-extension is the determinant as to how large the calved shelf will be, not the dwindling due to AGW of said ice shelf size.

The real issue is, “How many endangered polar bears are stranded on the iceberg?”

The one in 1962 was over twice as large....

Do you, or anyone, know where it is now?

Ya’ see, it’s caused by global warming which in turn is caused by gorebots running around with their hair on fire worrying that every large or small natural phenomenon is man-made.
