Giant Iceberg the size of Delaware breaks off Antarctica

Yes, an iceberg of frozen seawater. I suppose you think the salt magically disappears, as if it is somehow distilled in the freezing process?

While this iceberg is glacial ice, that is, it's mostly very compacted snow, old sea ice formed from freezing sea water is also relatively fresh. The salt is effectively distilled out in the freezing process.

Meanwhile, near the other pole of the planet, ice is above normal in Greenland.

This was not due to Global Hoax Warming. Nor was it "normal" behavior for ice shelves. No, THIS was an orchestrated globalist plot designed to further the agenda of the One World Order. With Obama's leadership, they spent hundreds of billions of dollars over the last six years drilling into the shelf and setting off explosives deep within the surface. By breaking up the ice shelf, they thought they could undermine the INEVITABLE Trump administration and convince the masses that climate change is actually having an impact on the world. The number of Chinese peasant workers shipped over to work and die in the Arctic conditions was well over 100,000. I was there. Believe me. This is your utopia libturds!

Makes the 2002 iceberg look small.

Isn't the 1956 one still bigger?

Ice was bigger in those days, because the earth was colder.

Similarly, when we gain 5-10 degrees over the next century, there won't be big icebergs calving off, because they're won't be any ice at all left.

I bet you vote Democrat. dumb dumb

It's in the ocean, sweetheart. That's salt water.

Found another one!

It's salt water, dufus.

Fresh water or salt water, whatever. What are the implications of this iceberg striking out on it's own in the open seas?

The iceberg will be loaded with polar bears and drift to South Africa. Upon arrival the bears will be so hungry that they they will eat most of the South African wildlife such as elephants, lions as well as humans.

I'm not waiting for that thing to melt as it drifts north. I'm getting the hell out of here!

I hereby grant you $1.23 trillion dollars to study our impending doom.

Well played.

What's even more fun is realizing how many people won't figure out that they *were* played.

As the article correctly points out, the ice was already floating. Its breaking off will have no immediate effect on sea levels.

Lol and I'll bet you buy into "global warming" too.

Here's an experiment for you to try:

1) Dissolve 1 tbsp salt in 8 oz water

2) Place it in your freezer

3) Once frozen, pull it out and lick it

4) Once you realize it's salty, shove it up your a$$

It's now free from the Antarctic government.

Delaware? Wake me up when one the size of Texas is about to hit Earth.

Well, does it have a valid license?

It it was a black iceberg we would not have ever have heard of it .

When it melts it will have no long-term impact on sea levels either. That won't stop Gore from tweeting about it. Desperate!
