TORONTO – A chunk of ice shelf nearly the size of Manhattan has broken away from Ellesmere Island in Canada's northern Arctic, another dramatic indication of how warmer temperatures are changing the polar frontier, scientists said Wednesday.

women, children, elderly .. uhhh , polar bears.. most affected

We’re DOOMED

Two ice shelves in Canada's far north have lost massive sections since August while a third ice shelf now is adrift in the Arctic Ocean, said researchers Wednesday who blamed climate change.

Yet, we have an increase in Arctic ice this year...

LOL - what warmer temperatures? Global average temperature is down for two years.

[GeoPie]

Wow, I bet that is the first time a shet of ice has ever broken away, we are DOOMED!

[subterfuge]

another dramatic indication of how warmer temperatures are changing the polar frontier, scientists said

Obviously this has NEVER happened before and the world must remain in it's current state forever--so sayeth the Goracle.

[xmission]

The text doesn’t say anything about the amount of ice there is this season, it just makes it look like “what little is left, is going away”

[ProudFossil]

Palin’s Fault!!!

[DuncanWaring]

Orrrrrr ... it could be UNDERSEA VOLCANOS.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

Excellent....with the ice melting it will be easier to get to the oil fields under the north pole...

[Argus]

It’s called “summer”.

[Toddsterpatriot]

OMG! Ice never melted before. That’s why Chicago is still under 1 mile of ice.

[Sacajaweau]

THE EARTH IS CHANGING EVERY MOMENT....It's zipping in its' orbit at 67,000 miles per hour, rotating on its' axis and "wigglin", too.

We know ABSOLUTELY that it's temperature has flucuated during the time of its' existance from a deep cold to today. There is no real "mean".

Volcanoes blow off steam, earthquakes rubble, the winds fluctuate, sea levels rise and fall, animals NATURALLY become extinct.

In the realm of the whole, we are miniscule. Man is the soul of the earth...not its' maker.

[txroadkill]

WE DIDN'T LISTEN!!

 

[fanfan]

Oh, nooos.

[LibWhacker]

Hey, a perfect place to set up our new “Guantanamo!”

[Secret Agent Man]

Apparently this loser crap scientist missed the earlier article this afternoon talking about the arctic ice sheet being about double the thickness and that it’s growing rapidly.

The one thing we can thank ‘global warming’ for is exposing all the crap scientists we should not give very much credit to when it comes to predictions.

[kennyboy509]

It’s headed for New Orleans!

[TexasCajun]

Climate Happens!

[Old Professer]

This must be the third time they have published this event since late July, wonder why the timing today?

[gidget7]

On No! Somebody quick, call the capt of the Titanic!!

[sportutegrl]

Palin to Canada: All your ice are belong to us.

[xJones]

Maybe because of articles like this today: Arctic Sees Massive Gain in Ice Coverage [twice the size of Germany: "colder weather" to blame

If someone is basing their career on global warming, the last they want is to see proof to the contrary.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yup! Leave the terrorists on it till it melts and blame their demise on AlGorebull and his warming scam. May be he will volunteer his new houseboat to rescue one or two.

I can't wait to see the photos in the MSM of a couple of them clinging to a few square feet of ice and hear the whining cries of the leftists.

[fanfan]

It’s headed for New Orleans!

Good, it will cool down the storms!

Canada to the rescue again!

A chunk of ice shelf nearly the size of Manhattan has broken away from Ellesmere Island

I'll give them $24 dollars worth of cheap beads and trinkets for it.<>p

[Hi Heels]

Don't they know, it's the eeeennnddd of the world...

[An Old Man]

"This must be the third time they have published this event since late July..."

You mean three thirds have already broken off? How much more of this can we take? Nothing but doom and gloom everywhere I look.

[Prunetacos]

[ThomasThomas]

If it broke off Canada can I claim it as a independent country?

[Core_Conservative]

didn’t I read a couple of weeks ago that the reason why the polar ice cap is melting is because of volcanic activity under the north pole? - if someone remembers the article - I would be happy if you would post it.

[gundog]

Hmmm....ice melting in the Northern Hemisphere in September....yep...we’re doomed.

[Leo Carpathian]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm,
mabee ruskies are having bonefire under the iccce?
Will ice cubes get cheaper? Sell!

[Waco]

Quick, Stat, shazam, 0’bambi, get ass in gear. save us.

[arasina]

It's headed for New Orleans!

LOL! (Ha! You kill me!)

[centurion316]

This is going to send all those Ice Road Truckers to the unemployment line, doubling the unemployment figures of Canada. Meanwhile, in other news, satellite data reveals that the extent of arctic ice for 2008 is 13% above that observed for 2007, representing an area twice the size of Germany. Maybe those truckers won’t be on the dole after all.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Palin’s fault.

[-YYZ-]

OMG, 19 square miles?!? Now there’s only 999,981 sq miles of ice left on Ellesmere Island.

[GOPJ]

I've never heard of such a thing - can we name the phenomena? My suggestion is "iceberg" €...

I recently watched the BBC-produced "Global Warming Swindle" documentary.

There was a Japanese weather scientist who talked about this. He said that reporters come to him whenever a large chunk of ice breaks off the ice shelf. They want him to provide gloom and doom quotes for their next breathless report on global warming.

He said he tells them that ice has been breaking off those shelfs for millions of years. It's as normal as leaves falling off the trees in fall.

He said they always pack up and go find somebody else who will tell them its a disaster.
