Huh? whadda you know?


Tim surely you're not using this to suggest that global warming isn't
happening, are you?


I dunno. I'd always thought that glaciers and giant ice shelves were
melting away because the earth was getting warmer, then you hear about
a massive chunk of ice forming and....

I know we had a decent frost last night, but it's November, we're
supposed to have a decent frost last night.


The article says the calving has nothing to do with global warming.

"The formation of an iceberg is called "calving," and while it's a semi-regular event -- and likely
not related to global warming -- it's still pretty cool."

I'm surprised the LA Times didn't blame it on global warming and ask everyone to send more money to
Al Gore.

It certainly does not say that the "calving has nothing to do with
global warming". You far right wingers sure can stretch the truth! What
is says is that it's "LIKELY" not related to global warming.
