Global Farce, I Mean Warming.

If you were on Mars and you read the story below you would think the planet earth had warmed so much that people in Montana wore shorts all winter. The people like Al Gore would have you believe the evil automobile driver is pouring CO2 into the atmosphere causing the ice caps to melt. What the global warming clowns do not tell you is that 358 records have been set this winter. These are not heat records, they are cold records! If you have watched the news today you know that it is snowing in the deep south today, April 6th. It should be in the mid 80's this time of year in Dallas Texas but in fact it is below freezing! Wake up people, global warming is a farce. I am not older enough to remember but I have read the Time Magazine that warned us the next ice age was coming. When that did not get any traction the same people decided to say it was global warming. And in the event you missed the day of science class where they talked about plants, plants need CO2 to live. Do you know what happens if we do not have plants eating CO2? WE DIE! Plants consume CO2 and spit out oxygen, yes the oxygen we need to breath.

PARIS — A massive ice shelf anchored to the Antarctic coast by a narrow and quickly deteriorating ice bridge could break away soon, the European Space Agency warned Friday.

The Paris-based agency said satellite images show the bridge that connects the Wilkins Ice Shelf to Charcot and Latady Islands "looks set to collapse."

"The beginning of what appears to be the demise of the ice bridge began this week when new rifts" appeared and a large block of ice broke away, it said.

The Wilkins Ice Shelf — which like the rest of Antarctic's ice sheet "was formed by thousands of years of accumulated and compacted snow" — had been stable for most of the last century before it began retreating in the 1990s, the statement said.

The shelf, which was originally the size of Jamaica or Connecticut, is located on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, which thrusts up from the continent toward the southern tip of South America.

Originally covering about 5,000 square miles, the ice shelf lost 14 percent of its mass last year alone, the statement quotes a scientist Angelika Humbert of Germany's Munster University as saying.

In two 2008 incidents, large chunks of the ice bridge fell away, shaving it down to just 985 yards across at its narrowest, the statement said.

As a result, "In the past months, we have observed the ice bridge deforming and its narrowest location acting as a kind of hinge," Humbert is quoted as saying.

Scientist are examining whether global warming is behind the shelf's breakup, the statement said. Average temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula have risen by 3.8 degrees Farenheit over the past half century, the statement said — higher than the average global rise.
