A handout satellite image taken April 27, 2009 of the Wilkins Ice Shelf in Antarctica shows icebergs covering an area of 700 sq kms (270 sq miles) -- almost the size of New York City -- that have broken off this month after the collapse of an ancient ice bridge between Charcot Island and the shelf.

Obama’s Fault!

Isn’t it early fall there? Doesn’t ice melt when it’s warm?

My God Man! Summer must be stopped!

And now for a little balance, which isn't in the article because it doesn't suit "the agenda"...
Antarctic ice is growing, not melting away
ICE is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap.
Snip...Extensive melting of Antarctic ice sheets would be required to raise sea levels substantially, and ice is melting in parts of west Antarctica. The destabilisation of the Wilkins ice shelf generated international headlines this month.
Snip...Australian Antarctic Division glaciology program head Ian Allison said sea ice losses in west Antarctica over the past 30 years had been more than offset by increases in the Ross Sea region, just one sector of east Antarctica.

Looks like a whole lot of pressure fracturing going on down there, Norm. The Global Warming crowd has less than a hundred years of data, less than fifty years of technological capabilities to observe the calving of ice bergs from an ice sheet and only a few years in college studying under sixties drug addled professors who desperately need a paper to publish.

It's as if these events have never happened before as they depend only on current satellite imaging and poorly written computer model programs that cherry pick data that gratifies their ego theories and ignores science. It also ignores hundreds of years of maritime navigation and exploration....the logs of ships (and later subs) that sailed the southern seas and reported their observations accurately.....as their lives depended on it.

A Japanese skipper on a whaling ship has a better sense of the science of the polar ice than a Global Warming proponent.
