Antarctica Calves a Chunk of Ice the Size of Delaware
Sometime in the last two days the Larsen Ice Shelf broke away.
A trillion ton iceberg named A68 (really, people? What about "Bob" or something more memorable?!)

Doesn't seem to be any video of it happening. But there are a few photos now.

So. . . they say it will not raise sea levels, even though it is twice the volume of Lake Eerie. And that it may drift north toward the Falkland Islands and eventually melt.

This is awesome news. Now gather up all the liberal, global warming morons and stick them on this newly formed island with Gore as their leader and they can float around bitching and moaning and we can all tell them to "shove off!!!" as we push them back out to sea.
