(CNN)One of the last remaining sections of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf is dramatically weakening, according to a new NASA study.
The study predicts that what remains of the once-prominent ice shelf, a thick floating platform of ice, most likely will "disintegrate completely" before the end of this decade
Ice shelves are extensions of glaciers and function as barriers. Their disappearance means glaciers potentially will diminish more quickly, as well, increasing the pace at which global sea levels rise.

Global Warming on Free Republic
We’re all gonna die!*
*unless you surrender your liberties to the UN.
OH NO, another 5 year Plan ,LOL
There’s one Yogi Berra quote that I especially like and rely on it often to guide me on my journey through life.
“When you come to a fork in the road, take it”.
And, let me just guess, the solution is to increase taxes?
NASA said this? Interesting ... last year they said this ...

I’m a Vegas guy. I might be willing to make a wager on this one.
OMG!! You mean the Ice Age is OVER????
RUN FOR THE HILLS
/s
Oh shaddup
Oh, I know. We'll sell the SUV and buy bicycles. Maybe move to the Valley where we can ride the new Light Rail. It's the least we can do to save that ice shelf! No sacrifice is too great. Maybe we'll even cut down on the wattage we are using in the squiggly bulbs and only flush our low flow toilets once a day instead of every time.
Yeah. That will help. It's the least we can do.
I think that Morris guy, the one who is fond of toes, has made some pretty sure predictions in the past. How did those come out> I hear NASA and greenie predictions in general have not been quite 100% borne out.
There is a rift and volcanic activity melting ice fron below. IIRC this is in the area of this ice shelf, devil’s in the details.
NOPE, YOUR STILL SCREWED; right now I am throwing another log on the fireplace in order to add more carbon and other miscellaneous pollutants to the air, in order to hasten the EVIL GOREBAL warming. Relocating to the Central Valley will not save you; my EVIL plan to stave off the cold (still colder than a whores heart up here) will DOOM you all.
The Central Valley will become my private inland sea so I can fish for Rock Cod every day. I will loot the sunken cities of Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, Madera, and Fresno with my scuba gear.
I will be wealthy beyond imagination, I will be king of all I survey.
Please don’t rat me out, I still hope my plan will work.
The Global Warming crowd has just disproved all their theories. They are saying 10,000 years of planet Earth prove they are correct.
I couldn’t agree more. There needs to be an organization somewhat like the bar (I know, bad example) that holds these jackwagons to some form of accountability.
Why are you girls sitting around watching ice melt. Shouldn’t you be designing a booster or something?
That an agency that was set up to do space Exploration instead becomes a chicken little terrorizing the public with fake propaganda and hoax to further socialism shows that government can never be reformed. it must be eliminated completely.
After 150? years the government schools now “perfected” their teaching of kids, to be small illiterate criminals when they graduate.
After 100 years among the IRS main came up with that their activity is watching star trek movies and oppressing conservatives.
After 50 plus years NASA ‘s finally figured out that they have to global warming scaremongering when the Earth is cooling.
