  |  Ancient Ice Shelf Breaks Free TORONTO, Ontario (AP) -- A giant ice shelf the size of 11,000 football fields has snapped free from Canada's Arctic, scientists said. "'Even 10 years ago scientists assumed that when global warming changes occur that it would happen gradually so that perhaps we expected these ice shelves just to melt away quite slowly, but the big surprise is that for one they are going, but secondly that when they do go, they just go suddenly, it's all at once, in a span of an hour.'" -Luke Copland, head of the new global ice lab at the University of Ottawa Ancient Ice Shelf Breaks Free | CNN While we debate, and others deny....it's happening.

Just because part of the ice shelf breaks off from the main body of ice does not mean it is in the process of melting or is melting. It still has a long ways to go before it becomes all "free water".  "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes."

"Scientists say it is the largest event of its kind in Canada in 30 years and point their fingers at climate change as a major contributing factor. "It is consistent with climate change," Vincent said, adding that the remaining ice shelves are 90 percent smaller than when they were first discovered in 1906. "We aren't able to connect all of the dots ... but unusually warm temperatures definitely played a major role.""

| At the crux of the issue is this: Just what impact on "Global Warming" do human being play? The Earth Worshippers want to make it look like this is a disaster of unprecedented proportions - brought on by, specifically, the greedy bastards of the Republican Party. The intelligent people of the world can see that this is VERY LIKELY a global climate change that is part of a recurring CYCLE. It has happened before, and will happen again. The northern hemisphere has gone through cooling cycles, and will do so again. The only really STUPID thing humans keep doing is building cities BELOW SEA LEVEL. Case in point: New Orleans. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| They should go to Holland and get a few dykes. I hear they are good at keeping the water out. How about Rosie O'Donnell? She's a big dyke. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Live the Light, Give the Light, Bring Heaven to Earth Every Day! I am not a human being having a spiritual experience, I am a spiritual being having a human experience. The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of their friends and advisers, what are we to conclude about the Republican party: Stop the madness before us it stops!
