2) dumb question. The problem is the RATE at which its receding
But you're assuming that ice is receding all over the planet, which it is not.

Side-looking radar measurements show West Antarctic ice is increasing at 26.8 gigatons/yr. Reversing the melting trend of the last 6,000 years
Joughin, L, and Tulaczyk, S., 20002, "Positive mass balance of the Ross Ice Streams, West Antarctica," Science 295: 476-80

So if the Earth is un-naturally warming, and it's happening globaly, how do you explain that ice in at least location is increasing, not decreasing?
