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 for one hope the iceberg doesnt get cocky and run into a titanic.
always mosh clockwise
While not necessarily a consequence of global warming it is very cool!
:) (Laugh, mods. It's a joke.)
Was that juxtaposition intentional?
The Overrated mod is for reversing inappropriate, positive mods, not for voicing disagreement with a post.
The same thing happened last year.
anyone else think this would be the best freakin idea for the next location of Survivor ever: :P

New Zealand thinks they are so special... and they get in the news when they can see an iceberg from the kitchen window.
We get that all the time in Nunavut (canada's newest territory), and you don't see me posting to slashdot about it.
Ha, that would be funny to see someone like president Bush speaking in New Zealand..
"Global warming does not exist!"

>I read about this years ago, a penguin wanted to travel north, so he used an iceberg as a boat.
The polar bears heading south will soon sort them out.
...by a "necessarily". For future reference EVERYTHING is a consequence of global warming.
Have they spotted a Starbucks on any of them yet?

A fleet of icebergs ARE heading north from Antarctica.
Goodness, the Nazi's may have been evil, and they may have had terrible aim (as per the Stormtrooper Effect), but they weren't incompetent.
"Fleet" is singular, thus a fleet of icebergs IS heading north. You wouldn't say that the same fleet 'are' heading north, would you?
After all, they were responsible for the death of Leonardo Di Caprio.

The icebergs are on a direct collision course with a ranch in Crawford, Texas. At last, Earth fights back!
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.
It's the "Gore effect". Wherever he goes to talk about global warming sees historic cold weather for the duration of his stay.
Gaia hates him for some reason.
In Soviet Russia, Titanics get icebergy and run into your cock.
Why is it that when you believe something it's an opinion, but when I believe something it's a manifesto?
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?

Whose to say it isn't two fleets currently engaged in joint exercises buzzing the kiwis?
