Just be aware of the wording, this is an Ice Shelf, which is already floating and will not rise the sea level. Ice Sheets are land based and would rise sea levels if released. But the main reason ice sheets in Antarctica would fall into the sea is that they collapse under the pressure of added snowfall, which at least in theory is making things equal. Another reason could be active vulcanoes under the ice, not really human caused global warming...
