seeder Posted August 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Quote A massive crack is threatening to cause an entire Antarctic ice shelf to collapse An iceberg the size of Delaware is about to break free. Scientists have been monitoring a fracture in one of the world’s biggest ice shelves, and report that in the last five months alone, it’s grown an extra 22 kilometres (13.67 miles) in length, and now stretches for a total of 130 km (80 miles). It’s now only a matter of time before a massive chunk of this Antarctic ice shelf - known as Larsen C - breaks free, and then we’ll have the third largest loss of Antarctic ice in recorded history on our hands. http://www.sciencealert.com/a-massive-crack-is-threatening-to-cause-an-entire-antarctic-ice-shelf-to-collapse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor Witness Posted August 24, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) They should tow it to California, where they're looking at a one in a million year drought, maybe one in ten million. I'm still deciding. Edited August 24, 2016 by Raptor Witness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
