A gigantic iceberg has just broken off the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica and will begin floating north in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s as large as one of America’s smaller states (try to guess which one).
Some believe it is the third largest iceberg to break off the continent since satellite measurements became possible. But at this point, scientists are unable to pinpoint the exact path it might take.
The phenomenon of an iceberg forming off an ice shelf is known as “calving,” and the rift in the Larsen shelf that led to the latest iceberg began in 2010. Then, in 2016, it began growing rapidly.
No doubt hysterical climate change advocates will find a way to fit this normal event into their hyperventilated rhetoric. Scientists have tracked Antarctic icebergs since 1978 and have a continuous database that has tracked all the ones since 1999.
From June 1999 through April 2016 the track of each iceberg is available to analyze in order to determine a likely path for new icebergs.
Find out just how big the new iceberg is, where scientists think it could float and the possible impact the iceberg might have on ocean levels as it melts in warmer ocean currents. Details are on the next page.
Ice is growing at the North Pole. There is NO man made climate change.
Oh well…..change is inevitable…its kinda like STUPID!
Stop cuting holes in it
Anyone for ice cream?
So
omg we all gonna die!!!!
Imagine all that fresh water flooding like an ice cube … shame someone don’t get a couple ships to tug that to African nations that need it … js
What a waste of water.
I agree. I heard ( I don’t believe all I hear) on CaravantoMidnight the John C Wells show some scientist and ex CIA who claim they plan to set off smallish nukes offshore to cause these warming events as well as other agendas. Sounds insane but that has never stopped government agendas in the past so anything is possible.
Well go and tell All Gore he is the expert!!!! Maybe he has a Lazer this time round instead of his hair dryer !!!!! haha
