I just find it funny they make reference to global warming....after they associate it with the Titanic in 1912. Must have had alot of manmade global warming 100 years ago. Ice sheets break off,thats what they do. They expand...they contract,like a hunk of ice never broke off before,geez.

....my favorite facts are:

It contains enough freshwater to keep the Hudson River flowing for more than two years, said Andreas Muenchow of the University of Delaware.

Few images can capture the world's climate fears like a 100-square- mile (260-sqare-kilometer) chunk of ice breaking off Greenland's vast ice sheet, a reservoir of freshwater that if it collapsed would raise global sea levels by a devastating 20 feet (6 meters).

Well...Al Gore isn't worried about it. He sunk millions on a new house...on the ocean.

....bet this situation will be made into a movie. "Collision with Manhattan". It will come down to blowing up the ice shelf with an Atomic bomb. Great flood and wave scenes as water devours NY city. Would be AWEsome in 3D.

Just goes to show how wacky some of these people can be. Tow an iceburg to the arabian sea...geez...kooks,the whole lot of them. Global cooling...no wait,global warming.no...no,global cooling....um,um..warming,yeah...warming ,thats the ticket.
And my girlfriend...Morgan Fairchild,will model ontop of one of these chunks of ice..yeah...yeah,thats the ticket.

We could always tow that sucker down under and have a barbacue on it.
