Icebergs Sailing Past New Zealand
An anonymous reader writes "A fleet of icebergs is heading north from Antarctica and at least one has reached New Zealand, an event that has not occurred in decades. While not necessarily a consequence of global warming it is very cool!"
I think that's a great idea. Put all the Survivor people on the iceberg, set it adrift, and then wait for it and everyone on it to disappear in the ocean never to be seen nor heard from again.

Why would it have anything to do with global warming? Are people really under the impression that icebergs don't naturally exist and are really a product of the evil Bush administration's plan to cause global warming so they can drown the entire West coast?
Its sort of sad when we have to clarify which stories might have to do with global warming and which don't...
Mathematics is made of 50 percent formulas, 50 percent proofs, and 50 percent imagination.
I think it's testament to the theories of Global Warming being accurately predicted.
Three days of unseasonable weather in a single location is now proof for a theory that encompasses an entire planet's climate change that would last for (at least) centuries? Why is this modded insightful?
I'm not discounting the theory but people who think that a minor "burp" in the environment around them is proof of something massively sinister going on is insane. How is this different from the Christians who claim that the Revelation Prophecy is coming true because of odd weather patterns?
What the fuck has happened that real science being discarded for knee-jerk reactions is commonplace and winked at around here?
