Giant Glacier Falls Into Ocean Near Antarctica
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A huge ice shelf 10 times bigger than Manhattan has plummeted into the sea near Antarctica, U.S. government scientists said on Thursday, adding urgency to warnings that global temperatures are rising for the worse.

The news follows the March collapse of the so-called Larsen B ice shelf in Antarctica in the Weddell Sea near Chile -- which was the size of a small European country.

The collapse on the Ross ice shelf -- in the Ross Sea -- is about 41 nautical miles long and 4 nautical miles wide.

It was spotted by the National Ice Center in Suitland, Maryland, which analyzed infrared photos taken on May 5 by a military satellite. The collapse likely occurred over the last two weeks, a spokesman for the center said.

The Ice Center gathers data for the U.S. Department of Defense, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Coast Guard.

The collapse is a result of so-called calving, as constant motion by polar ice caps fractures the ice into sometimes-large fragments that float loose into the sea.

Green groups pointed to the ice shelf collapses as evidence that emissions of greenhouse gases are causing global temperatures to rise and the polar ice caps to melt.

For meteorological reasons, glaciers are one of the first indicators of rising planetary temperatures, said Kalee Kreider, a global warming expert at the National Environmental Trust.

"They're a canary in the coal mine for the global warming trend," Kreider said.

Carbon emissions from power plants and factories have been linked to global warming, which scientists warn could lead to massive flooding and rising ocean levels. The United States is the world's largest emitter of so-called greenhouse gases.

ALSO . . . in Heaven, we will have a body like Christ. He obviously was not constrained by time or space. He could travel, in essence, by "thought".

This already has blown my mind.

Earth has enough to keep you busy for several hundred years if you were not constrained by time and space and knowledge. Multiply that by BILLIONS.

I would say that adds up to a one very patient God. We still have not learned to follow the moral codes as well as the warnings that have been given by the prophets of many faiths. I wonder if we fear that if all faiths compared the transcripts passed on to them we would then find we are of one God.
Then whoops no religious wars.


So ice caps melt and it could be one gentle God preventing a shortage of water for us bafoons down here.

A very nice way to create breezes in ones mind is to think of a very caring long preparing God. It might help to cool off the blown out spots . At least the water is cold.

THEREFORE . . . what if God has been creating other "worlds", "cities", "natures", etc. in the universe for billions of years.

CS Lewis wrote his SI-FI trilogy with regards to this.
