Yeah, the event primarily marked by receding glaciers probably has nothing to do with this glacier that weakened to the point of destroying a village.

This glacier probably melted many times in the past, especially in such a sudden and violent manner.

I'm sure this is in no way anomalous, nor is it something that could predictably result at some point from a warming planet.

The Missoula Floods. This kind of thing has been happening for a good long time.

That doesn’t diminish the tragedy in any way, this event was shocking and brutal. But it wasn’t the first and won’t be the last.

		“Guys this isn’t global climate change, this happened once before at the end of the ice age!” I have no clue what point you’re trying to make, but I don’t think you got it across here.
