Someone needs to help me here with the exact numbers -- but I took my family on a trip to the Canadian Rockies several years ago and we walked out to the Athabasca ice fields and glacier.

At any rate, the ice has been melting steadily for a long time, and long before automobiles started making greenhouse gasses.
