Scientists discovered that the glacier’s underwater base has been eroding due to the increase in the Earth’s temperature

I'd like to see the full evidence of this discovery.

I imagine that they may have found some erosion.
And then hypothesized that maybe the Earth's temperature could be increasing.

But that would be a hypothesis, not a discovery.

I’d like to see their evidence that the earth’s temp has increased over the past 15 years. Did they consider there may be undersea volcanoes warming the underside up, as there are in the artic?

A glacier floating on the ocean has already displaced exactly the amount of water that will be produced when it breaks off and melts. The sea level change will be zero. This story does not pass the test of a high school physics class.

Al Gore to Conan O'Brian, November 18, 2009:

"People think about geothermal energy - when they think about it at all - in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ..."

So there you have it. Geophysicist and scientist extraordinaire AlGore nailed it!

I sure hope the Obamas and Bidens have enough time to sell their ocean-side mansions before they are inundated.

Its not the Climate warming doing this, but under ice sheet volcanos warming water and eroding the glaciers from underneath.

If the glacier is already floating in the ocean it will not raise sea levels. If the forward edge that is currently restraining other glacier flow breaks off, the following glacial ice will flow faster until it finally hangs up on the ridge that is currently retraining the ice sheet.

If it does not and continues to flow them maybe sea levels will rise, but its not like that has not happened before (periodic flooding of Mediterran and black sea and the currently flooded English channel. ) andthe maldives and other places will need to move, but NOT because of climate warming and we should not pay climate grifters who chose to live in those places! ( Well, we might help the non CCP reliant islands, but not because we caused the climate change...)
