Precise would include facts that prove CO2 in all it's tiny volume can
cause any change at all.

MMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOONNNNNNNN

Co2 is a pigmant. Add 12 drops of food coloring to a 2 litre pop bottle
full of water and see if the color changes. 12 drops will produce a similar
concentration to that of CO2 in the air.

Now put that pop bottle full of darkened water and another full of fresh
clean water in the sun.

Which will warm faster and reach a higher temperture?

Since you ask, I didn't have science until 7th grade and all the way
from there to end of highschool I was at the top of my class.

In other words your science eduation is essentially non-existant.

It broke 15 years ahead of the prediction. This kind of melt so far from
the Equator is unprecedented in modern time.

Just a couple of years ago, during summer, fresh water ponds (melted fresh
water ice), were seen only 500 miles from the South Pole.

Unprecedeneted warming.

Why is this even news?

Oh, I guess because it's an unusual event that is news worthy..

"Recent studies have added to a growing body of evidence that key
glaciers flowing from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet are thinning at rates
not seen since the last ice age. For instance, for the past 4,700 years,
the Pine Island Glacier has thinned at a rate of about 1-1/2 inches a
year, according to a team of scientists from Britain and Germany. That
rate is similar to those of other major glaciers in the region. But
between 1992 and 1996, Pine Island Glacier thinned at an average rate of
63 inches a year. Their results appear in the March edition of the
journal Geology."

It's certainly not Faux news.

But over the last 15 years, three major antarctic ice shelves have
collapsed.

None collapsed over the previous 90 years.

Well, back in 2002 3,250 sq miles iceberg made a headline:

That was the first ice shelf in recorded history to collapse. Two others
in the last 6 years.

So, extrapolating the trend, we may assume, ice breakage slowed down,
and is scheduled to completely stop.

And then go infinitately negative. Like your IQ.

OMG, 17 miles wide ice shelf collapsed! So cranking away 17 miles of
ice, say every decade, is it too much or too little. OK, consider:
