>a video guy likely wouldn't have hastened climate change

I know that it's a fallacy to say that one person isn't enough to make a difference, but I think taking a lens sized chunk of ice off a multi-acre glacier is, really, not making a difference.

Unless he swam he probably flew to Iceland, which I suspect might be what GP meant by hasten.
o_o ... I can't really think of a less generous interpretation, but still coherent, of my comment than that.

I was of course referring to the fact that for a handful of clear ice he travelled 3000 km, contributing to climate change to visit one of the natural objects that exact behaviour is rapidly exterminating.
