this part of antarctica is close to argentina, any danger to the country?

Am I wrong here? If the ice shelf is already sitting on water, wouldn't it already be displacing more water than what it would melt as, for total volume?

Time to build a wall around the iceberg and make the penguins pay for it

"Shit's fake."

I have seen that picture posted a lot, can someone explain to me the context behind it?

Isn't this how The Day After Tomorrow started?

No, that movie is riddled with scientific inaccuracy due to the nature of it being a terrible Hollywood movie.

The researchers say that this is a geographical and not a climate event. The rift has been present for decades, they say, but it has punched through at this particular time.

It is believed that climate warming has brought forward the likely separation of the iceberg but the scientists say they have no direct evidence to support this.

Dammit, BBC, don't put that in the article. Dumb scientists not making conclusions without evidence. It's too late! You have to start making stuff up if we're going to get any action.

He brought a snowball into the Capital and onto the Senate floor to prove that climate change didn't exist. He's a Senator in Oklahoma and also is a chairman of the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee.

He also wrote a large and enthusiastic statement praising Trump for appointing Scott Pruitt as Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In other words he's a giant piece of shit.

Oh, it is, but it started with a piece of ice "the size of Rhode Island" breaking off.

Spoiler

Get ready for wolves and snow hurricanes.

Here's an example of what it looks like when masses of ice break away from the main body.

I love this video but all the cuts and the close ups make it so disorienting. Is there any uncut footage from a stationary camera showing the whole thing from a wider view from start to finish?

Just pour some water in the crack and let it freeze.

My favorite part about that was he then threw it at the senator that he was speaking to. It's not enough for him to think he's right, he needs to physically assault the person he thinks is wrong. Suddenly, it all made sense when the GOP presidential candidates back in 2008 were using 24 references. They think that's actual reality.

It was more like a soft underhand toss. Guy's stills a complete idiot though.

Somehow that makes it even better.

Has anyone read the article? The cause in this particular case isn't global warming. It's a different event.
