Iceberg strikes Antarctica

Scientists for some time had been expecting the B-15A iceberg to strike the Drygalski ice tongue, according to the European Space Agency. Last week, the waiting ended. On Friday, the ESA captured this image of the iceberg breaking off a piece of the ice tongue that's 5 kilometers long. The ESA says that maps of Antarctica should be altered to reflect the change.

The ice melt world wide is a catastrophe beyond anything that today's scientists are acknowledging, threatening fresh water, global weather patterns and much more. The thing is, dumb dumbs, it's the radiation levels caused by ozone depletion that is primarily responsible and we can restore that level with current technology. The death of planet Earth falls squarely on the shoulders of those who should know better, the scientists. You disgust me. Sparrow.

I'm just 23 years old, but I am concerned about the planet that my grandchidren and great grandchildren will inhabit... Global Warming is causing more problems than good. It is the major source of the more violent and frequent storms taht are hitting everywhere... It is also the cause of the flooding of the islands of Tuvalu... The polar ice caps are thinning... the ice cap of Greenland is thinning by up to 1 meter per year!!!
All this fresh water joining the sea water is affecting the gulf stream... You people over there in northern europe could find yourself in an ice age... We need to do something and we need to do it NOW...
