And, only a few months ago in June 2014, after nearly 40 years of so-called “global warming,” the excess sea ice around Antarctica for that date was more than 2.16 million square kilometers.
An area greater than the entire land mass of Greenland!
Even this iceberg is small in comparison to the sea ice around Antarctica: The total Antarctic ice area (land ice plus sea ice plus permanent ice shelves) in September is greater than ALL of the land mass south of the equator. Put together.

“A giant iceberg about the size of Delaware that had been under scientists watch has broken off an ice shelf on the Antarctic peninsula and is now adrift” and seeking a U.S. Navy ship to ram!

And seeing his bank accounts swell up as he exploits this latest example of “climate change”. Just wait for him to make the prediction that all of the Antarctic ice shelf will melt by 2025! I’m sure when Algore heard this news the first words out of his mouth were ka-ching ka-ching!

That's not news. NASA Landsat satellites have been seeing this phenomenon since the first Landsat became operational in 1972.

Put Biden on it. He can rule the iceberg. Put Hillary on it, after all, she is the ice queen...

If only Trump hadn’t pulled out of the Paris Accords.
If only our entire family hadn’t been driving seven different SUVs the past 20 years.
I want to personally apologize to the iceberg, Antarctica, all FReepers and anybody else who might have been offended by our gas guzzling.
To: Graybeard58
The ice sheet grows and part of it breaks off.
IMHO

Here's another iceberg that broke off in 2000, supposedly the size of Connecticut. Fabulous waterfront property here. Maybe Big Don can build a new "Pebble Beach" golf course.
Trouble is, coming up with the good name...
