If an iceberg calves in the Arctic, and no neurotic leftie sees it in a satellite image, does it still cause the world to end?

WASHINGTON — An iceberg twice the size of Manhattan tore off one of Greenland’s largest glaciers, illustrating another dramatic change to the warming island.
For several years, scientists had been watching a long crack near the tip of the northerly Petermann Glacier. On Monday, NASA satellites showed it had broken completely, freeing an iceberg measuring 46 square miles.
A massive ice sheet covers about four-fifths of Greenland. Petermann Glacier is mostly on land, but a segment sticks out over water like a frozen tongue, and that’s where the break occurred.

That is how glaciers work, Mr. Nitwit. The snow accumulates in the interior, turns into ice, flows to the sea, cracks, breaks off and floats away.
One hundred years ago a large iceberg from Greenland sank the Titanic, but no mentally deficient lefties were there to blame it on your SUV.
sO lyke if dis is trooe den why is he a scientust? i mUnn crack is nut fur scintusts!
One has to wonder what Seth might think if ice calved off more regularly, filling the ocean with ice.
I guess he also figures his iced tea will get hotter if he adds more cubes to it
I cannot recall any rational article penned by Mr Bearenstain. No, I haven’t read everything he has written. But I do not know of any contribution from him that are sane
seem to recall seeing many icebergs up there in summer time…yup, some years more, some years less….move along folks…
The exact same thing happened a couple of years ago. It was heralded as the end of the world by warmist Democrat congressman then too. Of course, they all seem to have forgotten about it now since the world didn’t end, and the ice feature rebounded. If I were Seth wouldn’t I start to notice a pattern? Grow – break off – grow.
