Massive glacier collapse

What do you mean by "calving scale"? "calving scale" gives about one thousand matches on Google and they don't seem related.

I think that the only ulterior motives deniers have is to refuse to face a simple fact: 8 billion people and all the cattle needed to feed them is probably something that earth cannot widthstand for very long. So either we all start eating insects (they are way more environmentally friendly than cattle) or we start limiting birthrate.

I know that it is estimated that total world population shall go down by 2100 or so but I'm not sure we can wait that long.

One kid per couple. Boom. Problem solved.

But who wants to hear that?

It's absolutely not that simple. Try telling a country like Japan (who projects a 30% decrease in population by 2060) couples can only have 1 child.

I would guess that scale in this context refers to the extent to which the calving happens rather than a specific scale named calving.
