Its all about the volume. Its pretty often we hear ice sheet the size of Maine breaks off into the ocean (or what ever state they choose to describe).. Meanwhile have you ever heard of a landmass of rocks the size of Maine falling into the ocean?

no we don't, because rocks the size of maine do not fall into the ocean over night... That would take YEARS, DECADES, CENTURIES to happen when the ice is happening in front of us.
the environment is not a partisan issue. drop it, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about and your religious leader congressman, who is just telling you what you want to hear, doesn't know anything either. He's just manipulating people like you...
