Certainly but we should at the same time avoid ruling out some pretty bad side-effects from changing climate. Case in point: Mt Rainier. The upper mountain has a sizable ice mass that (among other things) buttresses the various cleavers and rock formations like Gibralter Rock. It's not unreasonable to suppose that these will eventually slide off as the mountain loses ice mass, triggering lahars. In the past such lahars reached the Puget Sound in Tacoma.
