Icebergs used to be caused by glaciers flowing into the sea. Now they are caused by Hummers. Climate scientists are creating a nation of morons in their own image.
Calving icebergs are very dramatic and play well on TV. They serve as clear examples of the global warming caused by man.
And the Titanic would not have become famous if it were only fitted with a catalytic converter.

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”
ECO Tourism is one of the leading causes of ECO catastrophe!
remember that guy robert that used to hang out here? bonafied glaciologist who bought that shit.
go figure
Every time a GW Climate Scientist blathers on, I envision the backdrop of a Monty Python skit.
Me too — must be something to it !
Stupid is as stupid does. Ignorance is bliss and also dangerous.
Glaciers calve because they are too big and breaking off when they reach the sea. Receding glaciers are low, with a long slope, and usually fairly dirty-looking as the accumulated dust from many years is exposed on the surface. Oh, and the front edge of receding glaciers are NOT near the sea, they have receded, duh!
It is people of low integrity who knowingly use other people’s ignorance for their own gain. This is also the essence of scams.
“Calving icebergs are very dramatic and play well on TV. They serve as clear examples of the global warming caused by man.”
Not really, but they are clear examples of how glaciers calve. Where I live the landscape is pock marked with small circular ponds and lakes, they are called kettle lakes. They are the result of glaciers calving and dropping big chunks of ice onto the ground. The ice melts, leaving a pond or lake. This happened 15,000 years ago after the last glaciation. Common all over the world. They are still calving. I would love to go on one of these eco-tours and see glaciers calve, and I don’t blame the tourist operators for promoting calving glaciers as caused by man if it generates the money. But the public is not buying AGW anymore, so this way of making tourist dollars is not sustainable. I think they should simply sell the trip as a great way to see glaciers close, and see them calving. Its very spectacular. I would love to go.
I would love to see AGW fail, I believe it’s a crock. If anyone with a brain stem thought themselves instead of believing what is repeated over and over they’d realize the amount of CO2 is infinitesimally small and could never do what it’s claimed to be doing. However, these green weenies have all the money, Main stream media and the politicians in their back pocket. I wouldn’t count them out yet. We need a breakthrough to really throw a monkey wrench into their propaganda. As it is AGW causes everything so disproving AGW will be difficult.
Since icebergs have been calving off glaciers before humans even came into existence, global warming must have been happening before then. Impressive.
Were dinosaurs driving SUVs, or was it too much heavy breathing?
I defer to Einstein regarding the extent of human stupidity.
Is it just me here in Kandahar, or is the Alaska Dispatch link down now? Tried a separate search tab and all links to the Dispatch give me the “The webpage cannot be found” page.
I just got to the page linked.
