Funny, but I didn't see anywhere in this piece anything contributing this to George Bush.

Unless an ice berg the size of Australia breaks off I won’t worry.

Glaciers and Icebergs have been feuding for centuries.
What's the big deal?

Put another way, unless an iceberg the size of Luxembourg (or Connecticut, etc, etc) DOES break off, I will be worried. It has been happening every year or two since we’ve known about the place.

Global Warming will melt it before it becomes a threat.

The area of the world’s oceans is roughly 140 million square miles.
The area of Luxembourg is roughly 0.001 million square miles.
I don’t think it’s going to have any measurable effect.

Who was driving the other iceberg? Sadly, drivers of icebergs in Antarctica aren't required to own iceberg insurance.
I heard that Al Gore was going to represent the world in suing Antarctica for changing the ocean currents and as a result, the climate.
