Two Hundred and Sixty Cubic Miles of Antarctic Ice just Fell Into the Sea - Stunning Video

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



As yet more proof of the disturbing effects of global warming, a massive chunk of ice, estimated at 22 miles by 12 miles, has broken off of the continent of Antarctica.

Or more proof of a massive amount of unmelted ice and snow that could have accumulated on both poles over the last thirteen thousand years and is now pushing huge chunks of ice off the edge of the shelf?

[Scientists] were not entirely surprised, since the shelf of Pine Island Glacier has been inching forward at the rate of 2.5 miles a year, and large chunks have been seen breaking off every five or six years, but this chunk of ice is twice the size of any previous ones.

And don’t forget the violent volcanic activity around the Pacific Rim over the last few months as the earth’s crust shifts…

      “As yet more proof of the disturbing effects of global warming,”

      Man made global warming is a man made con and a lie. Just another excuse to tax you more.

      • TwelveStrand85

        Thankfully someone mentioned it before me….yes this climate change is just part of evolution or planetary changes that happened from time to time as part of the cycle

    • Harrigan

      In other news, a flotilla of tankers carrying 300 cubic miles of whiskey was reported departing Ireland, headed south.

    • DK

      Man made gobal warming is a product of false computer models from the IPCC, none of which has managed to model the Earths climate, and are at present being averaged out, they predicted warming since 1998 and temperatures have fallen. 15 years is a very long time to be wrong. The problem with the IPCC is that Co2 warming was a matter of faith and biased the models, none of which could model the ocean which covers 2/3rds of the globe and is unaffected by CO2 warming. They have modeled an Earth, but it is not the one we know, in which case policy should not be derived from false conclusions from false model data.

      Global… huh? Melting…huh?

      A.) Get a grip
      B.) Read some facts, or
      C.) Shut up a you face

      Stories like these need to be promoted to keep the ruse of Anthropogenic global warming alive by those who could benefit financially from it. Real global warming is cyclical and much more due to volcanic activity than to human activity. The elites and criminals like Al Gore need to keep pounding the lie in the hope that is will be accepted, because they will be the ones to benefit by the carbon trading schemes. Despite this gloom and doom, the global ice sheet has been widely reported as growing in 2013. The real story is the trend toward global cooling and a mini-ice age, so they need to hurry and try to get their economy-destroying carbon rules in place. True to form, Obama passed executive orders for carbon reductions here, as even congress (def: group of gorillas) would not take that issue on.

      Damn you global warming bunny!

    • MrAnthony

      This is just stupid. As a little boy, I learned that the ice cap there routinely sheds huge icebergs of this size. As the ice cap grows, the edges hit warmer waters and shed ice. This is NOT proof of global warming. In fact, the ice cap has been increasing at the South Pole and it’s bigger than ever. Whoever authored this story is full of crap.

    • spartan

      Broke off in October – around Spring season in the Southern Hemisphere……. natural cycle of freezing and melting and they try pitch global warming

      youtube: The IPCC Exposed

      By the Corbett report

      http://youtu.be/LOyBfihjQvI

      Many so called IPCC ‘top’ scientists are “still 10 years away from a PHD”.

      With now all the exposed fraudulent papers, illegally withholding data, admitted manipulated studies and admissions of scientists lying, perhaps the ‘Warmists’ are the real ‘Deniers’.

      Who are the hysteric alarmists?

      Top MIT scientist: Newest UN climate report is ‘hilariously’ flawed

      9/29/2013

      “I think that the latest IPCC report has truly sunk to level of hilarious incoherence,” Dr. Richard Lindzen told Climate Depot, a global warming skeptic news site. “They are proclaiming increased confidence in their models as the discrepancies between their models and observations increase.”

      Are you a retarded monkey? There is no global warming. It’s been disproved a thousand times over. Also, the global ice caps are growing at a faster than ever rate.

    • Anonymous

      More than 250ft of ice has accumulated on ‘greenland’ since WW2. The proof is crashed airplanes have been found 250ft BELOW the surface! There is no ‘global warming’, in fact the opposite is true. Ice breaks off of these shelves as a result of MASSIVE BUILDUP, NOT WARMING!

      What an idiot!

    • William

      Did the idiot who wrote the text even watch the video? “…this happens every 5 or 6 years.”

      How could you get “global warming” out of something that happens every 5-6 years?

    • Anonamoos in the hoose

      Will it be carbon taxed ? :lol:

    • oldfatguy

      Please, people, don’t sucked in by the lies about “Global Warming”. TPTB rely on the fact that you’ve gotten an inferior education in a public school. It is now SUMMER in Antarctica–their seasons are opposite ours because they’re south of the equator, and the ice shelf melts for hundreds of miles out from the coast every summer and has as long as man has been exploring Antarctica. Around 1911, a book chronicling the exploration of the South Pole (Antarctica) about Sir Ernest Shackleton’s expeditions, entitled “South”, explains in detail about what happened to Shackleton when they arrived too late in the season (May or June), when the seas froze solid about 400 miles out before they reached the coast. Their ship was crushed by the ice, and they were trapped until the ice again melted and broke away into an ice floe that floated near a place called “Elephant Island”, where they were able to row their life boats and get off the melting ice. Shackleton then rowed about 700 miles north to a Norwegian whaling camp, from where he arranged for another ship to rescue his men off the island before the ocean froze again. I will email a digital pdf copy of this book to anyone that wants to read it. Address inquiries to [email protected], and reference Shackleton in the subject line. Don’t be scammed by the Al Gore supporters. Gore SELLS “Carbon Offsets” for tens of millions of dollars annually to governments which give them “permission” to pollute the environment. Governments who buy these documents–printed from Gore’s pc–then tax the inhabitants of that country to cover the cost. Ask yourself: How does paying Al Gore save the world from ANYTHING? Google Al Gore and carbon offsets, if you doubt my word…

      Antarctic Ice Breaker Australis trapped in sea ice…….. yeah sounds like runaway warming NOT!!, also sounds like the problem isnt ‘warming’ but an over abundance of ice, in which case some is going to break off from time to time…global warming?? Pfffft no statistically significant warming since 1997 (UK Met Office) Sea Ice breaks 35yr record…. 1000 records for cold broken (again) in Nth America in 1 week: Nthn Hemisphere winter set to break ALL previous records for cold as it has done for the last 7yrs straight, WAKE THE HELL UP, ‘global warming’ is a support mechanism for UN Agenda 21, no more no less, and it is a FAIL, thats why it was dropped in favor of ‘climate change’, which can mean hotter, colder, wetter, dryer, pffffft and if you believe that LOL :shock:

    • RAINSCRYPT

      cubic? heh, square with that, are you..

    • Working the Beat

      It has nothing to do with global warming you goose! Glaciers build up from the top so an increase of snow/ice is required and has pushed outward so in actual fact their has been an 29% increase in ice this year alone in the Antarctic.

      • Tom Dennen, the paranoid historian

        That’s exactly what the goose :twisted: said… and only one reader picked up the deliberate mistake

    • Anonymous

      It’s called summer. Happens every year in the southern hemisphere while we in the north experience something called winter. :cool:
