#3 And that is news because of? When I was child, there were icebergs bigger tan many inhabited islands.

BTW the part of a glacier who has extended over ocean (whose temperature is over the melting point) will sooner or later crack and melt. It can take decades but sooner or later it will happen.

The only thing who will never happen is the end of stupidity.

#4 And if it's a floating glacier, melting will have no impact on sea level. Idiots.

#5 As long as I have known, glaciers always crack and break off. Always have, always will despite what the Goreacle and his followers preach.

#6 So Greenland is going to return to it's "natural state" that Eric the Red and other Scandinavians lived with hundreds of years ago when they grazed and planted in their colonies there?

#9 I love it when someone tells me "these pictures speak for themselves".

I know to examine such a statement with greater skepticism.
