Of course there is no climate change due to man, right?

From the article
“Ice shelves are floating extensions of glaciers that act "like the gatekeepers" and keep the larger glacier from flowing more quickly into the water, the study's lead author said.”

Floating ice which melts, doesn’t raise sea levels.
So the “trillions of tons” rhetoric is moot.

There is this report saying Greenland ice is melting faster than Antarctica:

https://phys.org/news/2023-10-ice-sheet-surface-greenland-antarctica.html

If a million ton glacier piece that was on land and then is in the water, how is that not raising the sea level, if only by a tenth of a millimeter?

Trees? You mean humans burning fossil fuels by the billion tons are not raising temps?

Well I would point to this forum, which gives a lot of really well founded information about the state of the ice over the years:

Would you provide a mechnism, by which trees make CO2? (in fact you should point to the source of carbo inn the wood if it is not too much hassle).

So you now claim, that during the measures of the pandemic humasn burned no fossil fuels?

Consumption was reduced but of course not to zreos:

you can see that here:

No, the article you cited in your OP was talking about trillions of tons of sea ice melting.

Sea ice melting doesn’t raise sea levels.

True, but it does It does if ice melts from the land, which a considerable amount of it does,especially in the Antarctic

And now we know, such melting is accelerating in Greenland. If all the ice there melted word on the street has sea levels rising 7 METERS, 23 feet.
Goodbye Manhattan, most of Florida, my old home, Venice Beach, Santa Monica and the like, and a lot of islands covered, like where I once worked, Andros Island in the Bahama's, there is a British submarine base there called AUTEC, Atlantic Underwater Test Center, because of TOTO, an underwater canyon over a mile deep, a hundred miles long and about 30 miles wide, that base would be history.
