1.1 trillion pounds Giant ice 'island' breaks off Greenland glacier
An ice "island" four times larger than Manhattan and up to 600 feet tall has broken off the world's northernmost glacier, a University of Delaware researcher reports. The chunk of Arctic ice that calved off Greenland's Petermann Glacier is the biggest in almost 50 years.

The icy isle, which broke off early yesterday, is at least 100 square miles and as a thick as "up to half the height of the Empire State Building," according to a university news release...

Ok, what the fuck!? We have web cams everywhere in the world but there? How cool would it be to see and hear that?
Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support!

Thanks for posting this, FS. Considering the ice shelves that broke off Anartica last year, and the opening of the Northwest passage, the earth is really changing. Can't wait to read the article to see if it's on the move - especially southward.

Re: 1.1 trillion pounds Giant ice 'island' breaks off Greenland glacier
thats why they are called ice 'shelves'

they grow seasonally and break off when they get big enough

sounds big. lots of fresh water for the taking.
