...but it's clearly proof of "something" and all trumps fault.

Re: “...ice does not melt at 10 Degrees F. Collapsing events are not the same as melting eventings. In a collapsing event the ice gets so heavy it won't support it's own weight. Tis a function of too much ice.”Exactly. Moreover, Manhattan is 23 square miles in size. The shelf that collapsed was therefore about 460 square miles - which sounds big but isn't. It's not even mediocre.

Below, I've linked to an article about an iceberg that broke off of Antarctica’s Ronne Ice Shelf just last year. Per the article, it:

"measures about 1,668 square miles (4,320 square km) in size. That’s slightly bigger than the Spanish island of Majorca (see the comparison in the above image) and about 80 times the size of Manhattan."

clo's DailyBeast article stinks to high heavens. It calls the current collapse "one of the most significant collapse events anywhere in Antarctica since the early 2000s." That's a flat-out lie... but it's typical of the trash she posts.
Say hello to the world’s biggest iceberg
