If you can't see what's so upsetting, you're not paying attention. Thousands of communities worldwide depend on the fresh water from melting glaciers for their domestic use. Some countries depend on the melting water from glaciers for their production of electricity. Agriculture in many nations depends primarily on melting glacier water that flows in their rivers. All this melting water is constantly replaced by fresh snow that compresses into ice over time and will subsequently melt into water. This cycle goes on and on maintaining a perfect balance in the generation of fresh water and size of the glacier.
Perhaps you might stop wringing your hands long enough to take a look around the real world. Has it escaped you that as glaciers retreat, very old settlements are often being uncovered?
When something happens that is outside the realm of natural variability, or even approaching the borders of natural variability, let me know. Till then, we are just along for the ride and being the top shelf predators on earth, we will adapt. That is what we do.
