the Okjokull gletsjer existed for 700 years
now it is declared dead
that means the Okjokull gletsjer grew after the medieval climate optimum, which lasted from ca 800 AD till 1450 AD
it means we are returning to temperatures before 1450 AD
the death declaration is presented in the media as if we are reaching temeratures never registerd before

I agree that climate change is a problem that has to be adressed
but as long as this kind of desinformation is spread, and things are not put into perspective,
a rational discussion and rational measures are made impossible
