The Amery Ice Shelf in Antarctica has just produced its biggest iceberg in more than 50 years.
The calved block covers 1,636 sq km in area - a little smaller than Scotland's Isle of Skye - and is called D28.
The scale of the berg means it will have to be monitored and tracked because it could in future pose a hazard to shipping.
Not since the early 1960s has Amery calved a bigger iceberg. That was a whopping 9,000 sq km in area.
...
The Scripps researcher stressed that there was no link between this event and climate change. Satellite data since the 1990s has shown that Amery is roughly in balance with its surroundings, despite experiencing strong surface melt in summer.

Next party, small tables. 4 people with Donald Trump straws. :)
I just stated why he was fired...did not stay with the official narrative.

So, if "recorded" history on iceberg breaks started in 1970, then this is the largest iceberg break in recorded history!
Don't laugh. A lot of these climate change scare tactics are done merely by adjusting the start date of their recordings. Sounds like "scientific research" has gone the way of journalism. But as long as we have dolts like Occasionally Coherent and Greta the Wonder Chicken spouting about the end of the world, what the hey?
Hell, who bothers with the glass?

Yeah, right? And the hell is a ‘’tonne’’?
Speaking of 1942, shouldn’t there be a global warming “blip” in temperatures during WWII?
what do you propose to keep the burg from flipping over as most do many times before they melt?
That’s great! What a country!
If it fits in a whiskey bottle, I’ll buy one for my wife.
Thank you.
It would be easier and more useful to move Africans to the iceberg.

Brings me closer together.
