    BREAKING NEWS!!!(Get it?) So, is the next step declaring a state of emergency for all the ships at sea? Donning life jackets STAT! Towing it to Africa for disbursement of fresh H2O? Now it it was the size of Texas and not Dull-uh-ware we might have an issue. But probably not. Have the eco wankers never had a glass with ice in it? Mine normally doesn't overflow when the ice melts. I notice thet've been keeping an eye on it for 10 years. Nobody thought to tie it off? Sheesh.

    Here’s an idea! Plant a flag on it and call it your personal island?
Coming soon.....the great country of Nevergore!
I’m going to build a hotel and casino on it....

    The size of Delaware and hopefully not stupid enough to elect Joe Biden

    That should silence all you science skeptics. Absolute and irrefutable proof of global warming.

    Geez. That’s never happened before. Pffft!
Just pay the UN carbon taxes and it will magically reattach itself.

    It’s just doing what ice shelves have always done. Water, even frozen water, flows down hill until it reaches the sea.

    Put Biden on it. He can rule the iceberg.

     Iceberg the size of Delaware, among biggest ever recorded, snaps off Antarctica As has been the case since before recorded history. Their point is to foster the Marxist religion of gorebull wurming. A pox on them.

    It will float north melting and cooling the waters of the south pacific as it goes, making the southern hemisphere winter colder than usual. /s

    Now that it’s a float just think of the millions upon millions of fish species that are going to be swimming underneath this moving structure. I’d like to take a shot at fishing around that thing. In a year or so there’s going to just be very large amounts of fish collecting there.
The UN-FISH&GAME better get busy and declare fishing off limits or else the global sticks of marine edibles will be drastically reduced, once in international waters.
Penguin and seal populations will also be disbursed, hopefully they notice their home continent is getting further off in the distance and swim for it.

    OH NOES!!!! The sea levels will rise when it melts and then the global warming disaster they’ve all warned us about will take place. Quick! Give all your money to the government and return your lifestyle to the 18th century. Your government will know what to do next...
