As for photo's showing how much glaciers have retreated, there all photoshopped.

A recent wake held for a dead glacier in Greenland ignored the fact that
it was born 700 years ago at the start of the Little Ice Age.

Glaciers forming in an ice age, and melting when that ice age comes to
an end, are hardly news.

Which glacier was that?

Apologies, it was Iceland not Greenland:

And how do you know it was only formed 700 years ago?

Not from that article - the BBC coyly forgot to mention it.

Here is another glacier about to collapse and it has been around for more than 700 years: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49820542

Fascinating.

In your BBC article, the glacier in question is moving too fast.

In my BBC article, the glacier in question is moving too slowly.

Perhaps you, or the BBC, or someone, can say what the correct speed of
glacier movement is?

Kindly note that when ice ages end, glaciers melt and sea levels rise.
It's not 'news'.
