Did anyone check up on the obvious error in this “scientific” article.
It claims the ice shelf, 25 miles long by 1.5 miles wide, is “ten times” the size of Manhattan. Quick math shows the ice shelf is about 37.5 square miles. According to the government, Manhattan in 31 square miles including adjacent waters, 22.5 miles if only the land is considered. The ice shelf is thus less than twice as large as Manhattan, NOT “ten times” as large.
If they can’t get such basic facts even remotely correct, why trust anything they Claim?
Because the sheeple that read CNN, won't be bothered to do the math.
They could have said "Ten Times the Size of Alaska" and a significant portion of their readers would have said, "Wow! What's an Alaska?"
