Huge Arctic Ice Shelf Breaks Off
knarfling writes "CNN is reporting that a chunk of ice shelf nearly the size of Manhattan has broken away from Ellesmere Island in Canada's northern Arctic.

Kidding about the dirty hippies part, but I do have a real point [...]
Well, I'm not kidding about dirty hippies. They smell. Bad.
I only post comments when someone on the internet is wrong.
Normally I don't reply to people who reply to my comments, but I really must know:
Why in the world would you start your quest to prove me wrong on a corrolary point by quoting an article about a man-made structure constructed some 2 million years after the geologic event I was referring to?
Well, it looked like you tried to imply that global warming was caused partially by the building of the Panama Canal, specially after you mentioned the troglodites and industry.
If I was mistaken, forgive me, but you never know what people really try to say when in slashdot. Oh well. I guess I got too paranoid of Global warming skeptics.
