Antarctic ice shelf 'hanging by thread': European scientists
PARIS (AFP) - New evidence has emerged that a large plate of floating ice shelf attached to Antarctica is breaking up, in a troubling sign of global warming, the European Space Agency (ESA) said on Thursday.

they need to dump salt in that crack. problem solved...

This isn't news. Have you not seen Al Gore's dvd on this already on TV, like 20 times?

The Arctic sea is also going to completely melt away in about 20 years. The Canadians can have summer cruises to North Europe, Russia and Japan. Yay!

Pfft. I am not worried.

Global warming is a well-fabricated liberal myth.

I watched "The Simpsons Movie" for the hundredth time yesterday. Your comment reminded me of the scene where Nelson punches Milhouse for believing in global warming, he forces Milhouse to say global warming is a myth.

I agree. I been hearing Bangladesh going under sea since I could hear. All those punctured tires that I bought to float gone rotten from lack of use... my 20 taka investment is spreading dengue fever now..sad

Is it?!

[Mahmood]

Global worming is not a myth. When I grew up, the floods in Bangladesh were not so much, the only flood worth mentioning was the flood of 88. But now, its every year, and this changed happen in just 15 years. Imagine how bad it will be in 20 more years, May Allah help the poor Bangladeshis.

Global warming is myth?

Wow.

[israr]

What happened to the educational systems around the world?!!

[Electrequiem]

Israr, blame it on Bush's "No Child Left Behind Act."

Guys, that was meant to be a rather sarcastic comment .

Well it was antartic now it is also in Artic.

7-square-mile ice sheet breaks loose in Canada

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080730/...ctic_ice_shelf

EDMONTON, Alberta - A chunk of ice spreading across seven square miles has broken off a Canadian ice shelf in the Arctic, scientists said Tuesday.

Derek Mueller, a research at Trent University, was careful not to blame global warming, but said it the event was consistent with the theory that the current Arctic climate isn't rebuilding ice sheets.

"We're in a different climate now," he said. "It's not conducive to regrowing them. It's a one-way process."
Mueller said the sheet broke away last week from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf off the north coast of Ellesmere Island in Canada's far north. He said a crack in the shelf was first spotted in 2002 and a survey this spring found a network of fissures.

The sheet is the biggest piece shed by one of Canada's six ice shelves since the Ayles shelf broke loose in 2005 from the coast of Ellesmere, about 500 miles from the North Pole.
Formed by accumulating snow and freezing meltwater, ice shelves are large platforms of thick, ancient sea ice that float on the ocean's surface. Ellesmere Island was once entirely ringed by a single enormous ice shelf that broke up in the early 1900s.

At 170 square miles and 130-feet thick, the Ward Hunt shelf is the largest of those remnants. Mueller said it has been steadily declining since the 1930s.

Gary Stern, co-leader of an international research program on sea ice, said it's the same story all around the Arctic.

Speaking from the Coast Guard icebreaker Amundsen in Canada's north, Stern said He hadn't seen any ice in weeks. Plans to set up an ice camp last February had to be abandoned when usually dependable ice didn't form for the second year in a row, he said.

"Nobody on the ship is surprised anymore," Stern said. "We've been trying to get the word out for the longest time now that things are happening fast and they're going to continue to happen fast."

those who say Global Warming myth:

the hurricanes of 2005, the recent earthquakes, the melting of glaciers, the forest fires, the rising of temperatures in the atmosphere, are these not enough "signs" for you people who deny global warming?

problem with scientific studies is that these studies only represent our point of view, we can never understand all the accurate data, our perception of understanding is very limited.

so i understand certain people's quiries about oh, 20 years ago, this predicted this and we still surviving today...(like Bangladesh unde sea level after 2000) well, science oday is far more advanced and accurate than science 20 years ago, but it is never exact, only an approximate.

Global Warming is not a scam nor is it a joke, it is only a warning, a precursor for many, many to come...

Rifat bro ... my comment was purely in the interest of satirical humor .

I want to go on record with this: I do not think Global Warming is a myth, nor am I seeking the VP spot in the Republican ticket for the upcoming US Elections.
