Global warming hitting back?

Glaciers naturally break apart as they slide downhill but many are shrinking more quickly than usual because of global warming, blamed by almost all scientists on human emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels.Reuters had to get that in.

Sigh....
Everytime I get Mrs Badeye warmed up to a cruise, something like this pops up in the news. If its not a glacier ‘calving’ and causing damange to the ship, its a murder unsolved, a story about bad/contaminated food, ‘pirates’...or they rerun one of the Poesidon movies.
Sheesh....I just want to go to sea ONE TIME without an AIRPORT on the roof!

Cruise ship?? Looks more like a freighter to this landlubber's eye.

I used to go rock climbing in an area of Pennsylvania that had really terrific stacks of big rocks and ravines with water falls. It was all made by glaciers thousands of years ago. But thanks to primitive mammals driving around in their SUVs, they all melted and broke apart.
