Giant crack in icesheet

**trini123** · 11-05-2011, 09:38 AM

A giant crack has been spotted in icesheet in Antartica. Article says it going to lead to an iceberg the size of Brazil but I think that is wrong. Brazil is huge.

For more info, do not Google "giant crack"; you might end up with something totally unrelated.

I never said this was due to climate change. Hopefully the people saying it is unrelated are not the same ones who advised the eating of more red meat.

ALSO NOTE: The area of Brazil is 8,514,215 km2. The iceberg is about 900 km2. Those numbers are a little different. More reason to worry about this article & who wrote it.

Actually red meat can't do you a thing if the rest of your diet is sensible.... But another story for another day

Here they say its the size of Berlin. I am wondering if it will have any effect on the environment, like temperature change and if so, would the effects be significant?
