Answer:

Carbon dioxide has been released by the burning of fossil fuels. This process is increasing the ocean's water temperature resulting in the glacier melting

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide emissions have constantly been on the rise ever since the Industrial Revolution occurred. The burning of the fossil fuels is the main reason why there is such high quantity of this gas released into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, thus it contributes to the arming up of the atmosphere. Because the atmosphere is warming up, the water is warming up as well. The higher temperature of the water results in melting of the glaciers, such as Thwaites Glacier. As the process continues, more and more of the glacier will be melted, with the end result being relatively big rise of the sea level.
