The Massive Crack in the Antarctic Ice Shelf is Hanging on by a 12-Mile! | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 71433356  United States04/06/2017 12:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of the world's biggest icebergs ever is poised to break off from an Antarctic ice shelf, but scientists say it's still hanging on by a 12-mile "thread." They also aren't sure when the now 110-mile crack will finally break open the rest of the way, creating a massive iceberg larger than Rhode Island. "It is particularly hard to predict when it will occur," said Adrian Luckman of Project MIDAS, a British Antarctic research project that's keeping watch on the ever-growing crack. [link to www.usatoday.com (secure)] But I should stress again, this is not a predictable process because we know only a little about the nature of the ice," he said. "It could go today, or it may be months." Not predictable , so much going on right now  |

User ID: 50097622 United States04/06/2017 12:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So what??? I thought we all knew by now that ice melts when it gets warmer....it's hot in summertime....and cold in winter. Oh, and even though people think these things have never happened is people only seeing these changes during their life span. You would think that someone who's goofy for God would know that everything he created would be perfect. To blame man for changing the climate is blaming God for creating man! From the author of Blade Runner: “There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone' anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me'.” Philip K. Dick |

The only use I see for a polar bear is a big soft and warm rug or blanket from its hide. I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked.  |

User ID: 70928909 United States04/06/2017 02:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When it breaks off do they know if it will plunk in the ocean like an ice cube and if so would the sheer size alone be enough to generate a seismic and/or tidal surge situation? "Break off" could mean a lot of things but the unsettling feeling of not knowing makes my mind think worse case scenario. I didn't mean to do that...or did I? |

Shiw if hands, whis fking ignorant as shyte? that would be most of you. A huge ice shelf is supported by water and the effect of it breaking off is insignificant |
