This is CNN (you know, no bias; no bull) — so complete the last sentence from this article’s first few paragraphs for me:
A large ice shelf is “imminently” close to breaking away from part of the Antarctic Peninsula, scientists said Friday.
Satellite images released by the European Space Agency on Friday show new cracks in the Wilkins Ice Shelf where it connects to Charcot Island, a piece of land considered part of the peninsula.
The cracks are quickly expanding, the ESA said.
Scientists are investigating the causes for the breakups and whether it is linked to…
So guess which of the following completes this last sentence excerpted from CNN’s report? Your choices:
2) …volcanic activity.
3) …stress caused by ice growth.
4) …natural processes.
5) …global climate change.
Remember, it’s no bias and no bull, so your choice should be a difficult one. Right?

Did anyone ever stop to calculate how much CO2 India and China and Indonesia puts out simply by their collective breathing? It's a lot and it will surprise you.
Glaciers are rivers of ice. When they flow into the ocean, it's inherently a time limited situation. It can't maintain structural integrity indefinitely.
Gunnar, you are absolutely right. I am with you in the knowledge that you have.
SOLAR SCIENTISTS NOW ARE LOOKING AT GLOBAL COOLING DUE TO A LACK OF SOLAR ACTIVITY. YA KNOW, ONE BIG VOLCANO CAN CHANGE GLOBAL TEMPS BY 2/4 DEGREES F FOR YEARS AND PUSH US INTO ANOTHER MINI-ICE AGE THAT CAN LAST FOR 100 YRS OR MORE, AS SEEN BETWEEN 1650 AND 1850 AD.
That's easy, we all emit (on average) 1/2 on of CO2 every year.
(by breathing)
China's Population is 1.32 billion, so 665 million tons of CO2
India's population 1.14 billion or 573 million tons of CO2
But Don't Forget The Whales?
A blue whale emits 87 tons of CO2 every year through its blow hole, and there are an estimated 5,000 blue whales not to mention there are 120 varieties of whales. That's a lot of CO2.
So the only way to save the planet is kill all the people and the whales. Happy Earth Day!

I LOVE IT, AND NOW EVERY CITY WITH A POPULATION OVER 500 CAN BE TAXED AS A POLLUTER BY THE EPA FOR EMITTING MORE THAN 250 TONS OF CO2 PER YEAR. EVERYONE READY TO HAVE THEIR BREATH TAXED AND REGULATED?OH, WAIT THEY ALREADY DO THAT WHEN WE DIE.WHAT WE WILL HAVE TO DO IS BREAK EVERY CITY INTO CITY-STATES WITHIN A CITY WITH POPULATIONS NO GREATER THAN 400, AND EVERY YEAR MOVE THE BOUNDRIES AROUND TO COMPENSATE FOR POPULATION CHANGES TO STAY BELOW THE EPA POLLUTER POP. LEVEL.JUST THINK IN N.Y. A SINGLE BUILDING MAY HAVE TO BE 6 CITIES OR MORE AT THE SAME TIME!
How did all you emit while posting to this blog. Just something to think about
if science says that the north and south pole were tropical forests before the ice-age and there was no problem then what is the fuss about the poles melting we might have forests there again x
Interesting picture. No more pollution.
Very sad hear that
