Climate change is one contributor to the dynamics of that glacier, so yes it has a lot to do with it, but either way this has nothing to do with your original post, in which you apparently weren't even aware of the fact that the melting of the glacier would rise the sea level which your provided source also states, so I'm glad we have at least made progress on that front.
