Giant iceberg spotted near Australia

Whoa, that's huge. To bad they can't take it the drought stricken mainland.

And people say that there is no global warming!

That iceberg is an appropriate symbol of the now-ending climate era that hosted the Industrial Revolution. Take your grandchildren to the seashore to wave bye-bye.

From the article:

Jonathan Bamber, from Bristol University, said icebergs the size of Wales can break off the Antarctic and it is too early to say if it is caused by climate change

better to say it's caused by climate change too early than too late. Oops!! Too late!!

It doesn't matter what causing global warming. What matters is it's happening, and we need to figure out a way to slow it down. Even if it is cyclic, the last time, nearly everybody died!! Wake Up!!!!

air lift it to the middle of australias desert and watch it bloom in the last beautifull utopia our planet will have!! ahhhh... "sigh" anti global warming lobyist are dicks.

"President Obama and leaders from the rest of the world's top economic powers acknowledged Sunday that there's no hope of a major breakthrough over climate change by year's end..."

Profit over common sense. We have seen within the last two years how the conservitive buisness people would shaft the rest of the world to make more profit for their pockets. They can afford to hire some dupe that needs money to support the fact that the really dont care about anything except thier own empires and country clubs.

Well that's not good...

So lets listen to the 1% of scientist who say tha global warming is bullshit and do nothing about it rather than listen to the 99% who say it does. If it goes against what you believe, no matter the overwhelming proof, it must be wrong, no matter the consequences.

Looks like some kind of space monolith

This correlation between atmospheric temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentrations has a better correlation coefficient than the one that Al Gore is using. If I solve for the normalized the atmospheric CO2 and sunspot figures, and then find the best correlation coefficient between these two components I find that;

.09x + .91y = z

where x is the normalized sunspot total
y is the normalized atmospheric CO2 concentration
and z is the Temperature Anomaly in degrees Celsius

Here is how the results compare: If I assume that CO2 were solely responsible for the runup in temperature between 1985 and 2008 then we could expect the temperature to continue to increase at the rate projected in the book "Inconvenient Truth". On the other hand, if this cumulative correlation is indeed better then expect yet greater increases in global temperatures. Look out when the sunspot cycle returns to normal in 2012. I can use the regression to project a TA of 0.74 by 2013. That's off the charts.

Could it be that global warming is being underestimated because sunspots were low on the cycle when Al Gore's movie came out? It's tempting to apply a detective "whodunnit" approach to the question of global warming, but if we're looking for a murder mystery analogy I suggest looking at "Murder on the Orient Express".

Just an ice cube for your drink as you sit back and watch the next dust storm arrive.

Let me get this straight global warming is melting the ice causing higher seas and more water is causing draught right?more water is causing draught right?the earth has been a iceball and a hot house thousands of times set your self loathing and hubris down destroying capitalism will not stop the cycles of the earth

How many more proofs do we need ?

That is huge wow and it traveled so far wow.

Then it hits Australia and Australia sinks to the bottom of the Atlantic.

"Well I don't think anyone say that coming..."

"Yeah, talk about hubris."

"Wtf?"

Anyone else think this would be the most epic arena for a Stanley Cup Finals?

Nickname: Big Bertha.

couple things here, first of all i voted this UP not that i liked it, but that it should be on the news around the world for a week. 2nd, anyone thinking about solar towers yet to slow global warming? 3rd. the article states its concern over heading into shipping lanes, and could be a possible hazzard....

Njoy it while it lasts...

If it gets to Australia, it wont be that size for long
