I thought glaciers “calved” because they were growing.

That was a very interesting video. It clearly shows that the part that broke off was jutting WAY out away from the shore. I would like to see historical pictures of that area because I suspect from the shape, it grew to the point were it was too big to be supported by the main structure and broke off.

This is an opportunity for a second Pulitzer for Algore.That would be a first since Gore has a Nobel not a Pulitzer.

Oh! They forgot to mention that the ice on 75% of Antarctica is 8 METERS THICKER than it was 20 years ago!

Unless that iceberg is skimming across the ocean and heading for my house, I’m not worrying. I’m more worried about keeping my walk shoveled.
