If you hear someone say that Greenland or Antarctica will be ice-free within our lifetimes then they are.
Basically the thing with 'climate change' isn't the magnitude of the temperature change itself, as the planet is actually very much cooler at present than through much of the Earth's history. What does get attention is the rate of said change, and evidence so far suggests that human activity has some role in it.
The major problem is that thanks to eco-nutters and their stupid hairshirted attitudes and silly little windmills the far more important (imo) problems of overpopulation, alternative energy sources, resource depletion and the like will never be sorted.
