The region where the Wilkins Ice Shelf lies has experienced unprecedented warming in the past 50 years, with several ice shelves retreating in the past 30 years. Six of these ice shelves have collapsed completely: Prince Gustav Channel, Larsen Inlet, Larsen A, Larsen B, Wordie, Muller and the Jones Ice Shelf.

Scambos alerted colleagues at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) that it looked like the entire ice shelf - about 6,180 square miles (16,000 square kilometers - about the size of Northern Ireland)- was at risk of collapsing.Let's just wait and see whether the sea levels rise and swamp the world's coastal cities. Otherwise, these reports are pure bunk.

Meanwhile, other parts of Antarctica’s ice sheets are thickening.

I wouldn't get my socks it a twitter over this. The largest Antarctic iceberg ever spotted was by the USS Glacier in 1955. It was twice the size of the state of Connecticut.

A vast ice shelf hanging on by a thin strip looks to be the next chunk to break off from the Antarctic PeninsulaRelax. It's just Ted Kennedy stocking up on ice for his next party.

I am still upset about the lose of that melting glacier which covered most of the midwest 15,000 years ago.

ice shelf proceeding to crumble and disintegrate in a pattern characteristic of climate-caused ice shelf retreats"Well then it must be global warming if it's retreating in a manner "characteristic of climate-caused ice shelf retreats". Otherwise, it'd be retreating in a manner of normal ice shelf retreats. /s

The ice shelf is hanging by a thread - we'll know in the next few days and weeks what its fate will be." I know I will be on pins and needles. /s

Those shelves have probably never been a constant size for more than a century or two for the entire history of the earth.
Who knows what the size of them were 300 years ago, a mere eye blink in the life of this planet? We have no real idea of how fast they ebb and wain over extended periods of time, yet it is written and taken as gospel that we are the cause of this and not the sun.

“Glaciologist Ted Scambos of the University of Colorado was monitoring satellite images of the Wilkins Ice Shelf and spotted a huge iceberg measuring 25 miles by 1.5 miles (41 kilometers by 2.5 kilometers - about 10 times the area of Manhattan) that appeared to have broken away from the shelf.”
Quick! Tow it it a place that needs fresh water!
