Giant Ice Shelf Snaps

Popo writes "Sattelite images have revealed that an ancient 66 square-kilometer ice shelf, the size of 11,000 football fields, has snapped off from an island in Canada's arctic. The Ayles Ice Shelf was one of 6 major shelves remaining in Canada's arctic and is estimated to be over 3000 years old. The collapse was so powerful that earthquake monitors 250 km away picked up tremors. Scientists say it is the largest event of its kind in 30 years and point their fingers at climate change as a major contributing factor."

We're in the middle of what meteorologists described as a "once in 1,000 years drought", had our hottest December night on record (minimum 27C/81F) and a 4 days later it snowed on xmas day.

Climate change?

That's just a myth put about by people who believe what they see when they look out their window!
