Buhbye ice shelf

What? 41 square miles of ice shelf, one of six major shelves left in Canada's arctic, breaks off into the ocean? Collapse was so powerful that earthquake monitors 155 miles away picked up tremors? No, no; no global warming here, please move on. I said there's nothing to see here! Al Gore is still a lying crazy person, scientists are raving libruls, and hybrid cars are for communists! Why does the Canadian artic hate America?

In reality, though, Warwick Vincent of Laval University, who studies Arctic conditions, "traveled to the newly formed ice island and could not believe what he saw." He commented, "It is consistent with climate change."

What a surprise.
