What I can't get over is the incredible power of glaciers - half a continent covered with mile-deep ice on the move, all of it being pushed from the source.
Glaciers affect the earth's crust, too: I read that the weight of the glacier pressed the land surface down, and as the ice retreated, the crust has started to -bounce- back to its original position - it said that the European plate is lifting in the south while still being compressed in the north.
I'm far from an expert and stand ready to be corrected on both these points!

So genuine question, is the main concern with climate change the fact that the glaciers are melting much faster now then they-re expected to? A lot of climate deniers like to claim that the glaciers melting is meaningless cause they-ve melted before.

Day 134: I have still been unable to find, let alone contact, the local native nation where I live here in the western part of southern germany. I am starting to fear that it may be bavaria.
