"Vast Antarctic iceberg 'threat to marine life'"
<Video at link>
[
A vast iceberg that broke off eastern Antarctic earlier this month could disrupt
marine life in the region, scientists have warned.

They say the iceberg, which is 78km long and up to 39km wide, could make it
harder for the area's colonies of Emperor Penguins to find food.

But British and Australian scientists disagree on whether it could also cause
major problems to our own weather patterns.

Tom Symonds reports.

Sounds like a fair guess, but he logic behind it does not usually
apply in crafts and metalworking, though. Here the same amount
of parts, but one loose, can make a difference. : )

Wow!
A genuine order-of-magnitude stuffup.
Well done, Mr infringed.

Ooops! Thank you Mr. R.

Its bigger than Guam and nobody cares about Guam or claims that it
changes global climate.

Actually it changes constantly.
It is not a frozen monolithic ice cube.

Nobody said it would AFAIK.
But it's loss might allow Antarctic glaciers to flow faster into the sea ....
and that might.

ø Thank you, ed!!

ø The issue is really irrelevant.
Nobody can control the wind
Nobody can control the rain or snow
Nobody (collectively) can control climate.
Global temps are within natural variations
Oceans heating are a prelude to glaciation

 Get used to it!!

We built shelter to protect ourselves from the weather... and
climate. You should see Al Gore's home!!!

I made a mistake. Then I did something the climate scientists
couldn't do... I admitted it.

That's the diff between a climate scientist and a meteorologist.

So what's your excuse, Alberto Cur-Lee?

Just because it's getting warmer due to man-made CO2 & Methane
is no reason to lie about it.

Someone on the tvee with a background in reading
weather reports from the real professionals & computers?
Usually with a degree in "communications" or similar?

>So what's your excuse, Alberto Cur-Lee?

Not being ignorant?

Do you mean numerical models?

No. Twenty years military weather support, upper air and remote
sensing.

But thanks for trying.

Ummm, Cliffie. Alberto Cur-Lee said the earth's climate is a
>>>CLOSED<<< Sytem.

He has yet to make a correction.

Do you agree with Alberto Lee Scurmudgeon that the earth's climate is
a closed system?

It's NOT a trick question.
