This is a calving event at Helheim Glacier, East Greenland. Its my understanding that the retreating of this glacier deposits both new water and new ice burgs into the sea that were previously grounded.
" Since then, the ice loss has slowed down and the glacier’s front has partially recovered, readvancing by about 2 miles of the more than 4 miles it had initially retreated."

That tells me things are getting colder, if the glacier is slower, but bigger.
In the end, the real data we have on temperatures, ice, glaciers etc., is almost insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
