Wilkins Ice Shelf in Antarctic break-up! (2008.03.25)
Uploaded by: starrdreams
Video Description:
A chunk of ice the size of the Isle of Man has started to break away from Antarctica in what scientists say is further evidence of a warming climate.
Satellite images suggest that part of the ice shelf is disintegrating, and will soon crumble away.
The Wilkins Ice Shelf has been stable for most of the last century, but began retreating in the 1990s.

The circulatory CO2 in the Atmosphere can only get up their by riding on water vapor.
As the Oceans and Seas and lakes and such evaporate to make clouds they take Co2 seeped in them up with them and then the CO2 "rains down" and feeds the plants and gets reabsorbed into the Oceans and permafrost and soil.
If will find what I just said in a Meterology 101 book though not in a Environut "Enviromental Science" book.
It cost "Big Auto" $50 for a Combustion Engine, $500 for a Hybrid Engine, and $7000 for a Electric Engine.
Which do you think they rather put in a car they make to maximize profits unless thier gas cars Sales slump like it did last time gas threatened $4 a gallon making them have to make Hybrids to save their ASSets?
Lets try it this way.
Find me a Meteorologist that believes that the IR absorption rate of "green house gases" has anything to do with weather or Climate or that it is the "Green House Effect" rather then Humidity and surface Convection driving temperatures and weather and "climate change"
Find me a Mechanical Engineer that verifies that Gasoline Engines actually release Carbon Dioxide instead of Carbon Monoxide
You won't

You are looking for evidence or you testing what I personally know? I will not do that. If you are looking for evidence, there is many scientific sources. If you don't know them, I can provide you links.
You spoke to the climate scientists (to whom?) and explained them your point of view about everything what is happening to the climate?
Could as well say Britney Spears going Pantyless is causing Global Warming
No, I am saying that the major problem with the people saying "Down with Evil Big Oil" and "Down with George BusH" aren't even anywhere near how Gian Dynamics or 200 year old Combustion Technology works.
The Atmosphere is 85.5% "Dry Air" and up to 5.5% water vapor at any given time and a local patch's tempature depends on Humidity,water vapor, absorbing heat from the surface below, not the IR Absorbtion rate of Air's "GHG"
Efficient Combustion would make CO2 and Ozone, but current Combustion technology is ineffecient and makes mostly Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Dioxide is 5x heavier then the Atmosphere so if cars really made CO2 (and Ozone) it would always smell like after a rainy day with a bunch of "Spooky fog" (like when Dry ice is dropped in water) all over the city streets instead of "Smog"
Only animals and Plants Ehxale Co2, and there is a whole lot more of both now,yes?
ALASKA DAILY NEWS BULLETIN 5-14-2008
"WASHINGTON -- Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne announced Wednesday that the agency will list the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, a decision that could cast the bears as the enduring symbol of the effects of global warming."
THANK YOU Secretary Kempthorne !!
And thank you Al Gore, Greenpeace, Arnold, National Geographic, the EU... etc. you made a difference.
It's from article in Herald Tribune "Antarctic volcanoes identified as a possible culprit in glacier melting".
"It is another identifiable impact of climate change on the Antarctic environment."
You will find links in description of this video.
And one cold winter means nothing. Climate Change is about extremes...both hot and cold. 2007 (a La Nina year) supports this.
