"heat of underlying rock". I'm pretty sure it's mostly the massive pressure from the mile of ice. What I'm really asking is for the distinction that should be here between the flood waters and natural lubrication caused by the pressure not allowing freezing. Because as an article it's not clear. ….what’s up with this article? “heat of underlying rock”. I’m pretty sure it’s mostly the massive pressure from the mile of ice.

And the face that the glacier's movements might not be an affect of global warming is an important idea too. It turns global warming into a concept, sure we are leaving a horrid carbon foot print but what if some of the "affects of global warming" are actually supposed to happen?
