Could an expansion in the magma cause the ice sheet to slough off? I certainly don’t have enough info to say yes or no, but that was my first thought.
I think it’s the opposite that is happening, the ice sheet falling off removes weight and pressure on the crust, allowing the magma underneath to push it higher.
The cause of course is another one of those pesky man-made solar eruptions causing climate change,

Rising at 15mm per year, hmm, lets just round it off to 25mm per year, or about an inch per year.
That would put the Rocky Mountains in the 150,000 to 200,000 year old range.
The great pseudosciences of Creation Research and Global Warming have finally aligned!
(Sorry, but in seven days, God made a universe that genuinely LOOKS old. A little brusher-up in Christian philosophy might explain why.)
Ice shelves extend over water, not land.
That’s whaty I thought...is the rising of the lanb causing the sloughing...rather than the reverse.
“The sky is falling!!!!”:
Global warming! Global warming!
It was 100 degrees here in Southern NM yesterday. Supposed to be 103 today. Obviously Global Warming!
One hundred degrees...in the desert...in the summer? My God,what next? Fog in San Francisco? Snow in Vermont? Tornadoes in Missouri?
Except this isn’t mountains building. It is rebound of the surface.
Basically what happened in the upper Midwest and great lakes region of US and Canada at the end of the last ice age. The crust sprang back up when the weight of the ice was removed.
Anything from the Institute For Creation Research requires corroboration from peer reviewed sources.
I agree. It’s called Post Glacial Rebound.

Scotland and the Scandinavian countries are still rising even though it’s around 10,000 years since the ice which covered them melted.

Rye England Hotel I stayed used to be seaside in 16 th century now one mile from Sea Coast..haha
Greenland in same century was completely submerged under water in 16th century If I recollect correctly!

Indeed but Rye, which used to be an important port on that coast, is now inland due to the bay it sat on silting up.
The northern part of the UK is gently rising as a result of post glacial rebound whilst the southern part, Rye included, is ‘sinking’.
I’m not aware of Greenland having been completely submerged in the 16th century, in fact I doubt it entirely. Do you have a link?
