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.

Not only was that statement a gratuitous dig for globull warming, it is WRONG!

Glaciers calve because they are GROWING and the weight extends beyond their land support, NOT SHRINKING!!!

I wish just once they would get it right!
