Well, IMHO a good part of it anyway... read the whole article!

Jan. 22 (UPI) -- New research suggests the dissipation of heat from Earth's interior is responsible for the acceleration of the seaward slide of Greenland's ice sheets. The descent of of Greenland's shrinking glaciers is well documented, but the latest research -- published this week in the journal Scientific Reports -- is the first to link the ice loss with escaped heat from Earth's interior.

"It is a combination of higher temperatures in the air and the sea, precipitation from above, local dynamics of the ice sheet and heat loss from the Earth's interior that determines the mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet," researcher Soren Rysgaard said in a news release.

So internal heat is one among several factors, most of which are hydrospheric, not geologic. Question: which factors dominate?

Maybe we should stop digging and pumping then?

As long as you avoid the icecap you should be okay.

It's pretty fucking hot down there.

Better pump in some closed cell urethane foam insulation!

And driving and flying, heating and cooling, living in homes.
No more of that. Bad for Earth.
