So Which Is It

Here is a quote from this wire story about the big bad ice island:
"This is a dramatic and disturbing event. It shows that we are losing remarkable features of the Canadian North that have been in place for many thousands of years," Vincent said. "We are crossing climate thresholds, and these may signal the onset of accelerated change ahead."
Three paragraphs later...
Some scientists say that the break-off of the ice shelf is the largest event of its kind in Canada in 30 years and that climate change was a major element.
So is it a drastic event, or the biggest of its kind in thirty years? Ice sheets calve apart due to natural climate change, kinda like how they use to farm Greenland in the medieval warm period.

Climate change happens. Not everything can be blamed on the big bad human race...
