The Wilkins Ice Shelf is the tenth major ice shelf to collapse in recent times, another sign that warming temperatures are impacting Earth’s fragile cryosphere.

I really can't understand global warming deniers.

There was "panel discussion" a few weeks ago that involved a denier and a climate scientist from the lab where I used to work. The denier spent his time claiming that global warming was a conspiracy fostered by the UN as a bid for their "one world government."
