The Larsen C shelf collapse has nothing to do with climate change. Even climate scientists have been adamant about this fact.

As Antarctic glaciers flow out toward the ocean, they form shelves over the water. At ape point, the shelf becomes too large to sustain itself and collapses. This is what happened recently, and it's an event that would have happened no matter what.
