In the largest jump since January, the rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf has grown an additional 17 km (11 miles) between May 25 and May 31 2017. This has moved the rift tip to within 13 km (8 miles) of breaking all the way through to the ice front, producing one of the largest ever recorded icebergs. The rift tip appears also to have turned significantly towards the ice front, indicating that the time of calving is probably very close.
Haha... breaking...
Seriously though, while I doubt the Paris Accord would have that severe of an impact on the economy, at the end of the day I'd rather have a planet than an economy.

paris standards anyway.
If we just had paid more taxes this would never happen. Maybe we can still prevent it with a huge one-time tax on the rich?

Yawn...
1. This part of Larsen C sits on water, so the effect on sea level rise when it calves will be zero.
Ice was born to melt.
This never happened. It's a hoax by the Chinese.
Fears of a gigantic Tsunami forming can be countered by having Ragen Chastain do a belly flop off the tip of South America which will cancel it out.
