Ever seen Brewster's Millions? Good 80's movie. This guy wants to take that iceberg and transport it to the desert for drinking water. Looks like he might get his dream.

160 times the area of Manhattan Island...in other words, the size of New Jersey!

This berg alone, upon melting, can raise the level of the world's seas by up to a foot! And climate deniers celebrate in blissful ignorance.

Or 0.1mm, but don't let the science get in your way. Just go with your feels, they have served you so well in the past.

What conlusions have you drawn regarding the overall ice volume of Antarctica, based on the actions of one singular ice shelf?

Is this why they changed the name from global warming to climate change?

When you have ice in a full glass of water and the ice melts, how much does the water level in the glass go up?

This is a big deal folks. Those that say it isnt are not aware that now I will have to move my beach chair and canopy back at orange beach another 4 inches. This is going to be bad.
