Soo.....Who wants to say Al Gore did this?

A massive iceberg -- more than twice the size of New York's Manhattan island -- is drifting slowly toward Australia, scientists said Wednesday.

The iceberg, measuring 140 square km (54 square miles), cleaved off an ice shelf nearly 10 years ago and had been floating near Antarctica before commencing on its unusual journey north.

Named B17B, it was about 1,700 km (1,056 miles) off the coast of West Australia, according to the country's Antarctic Division.

"B17B is a very significant one in that it has drifted so far north while still largely intact," said Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist Neal Young, who spotted the slab using satellite images taken by NASA and the European Space Agency.

"It's one of the biggest sighted at those latitudes."

That story is so obviously fake I can't believe you posted it. Antarctica is at the bottom of the planet. How would ice float up towards Australia?

Sheesh.

What sarcasm? Oh! Because it is ice, it floats to the top of the planet, right?

When dealing with conservatives, you have to assume that no matter how ridiculous the statement, they honestly believe their own drivel.

Plus they don't use sarcasm. Too complicated.

Yes, every small anecdote proves or disproves global warming. Look, it hasn't melted in 10 years since breaking off. Therefore, global warming is back off.

Nice. To cover being dense, you turn to trying to insult.
