Iceberg Threat

Vast iceberg 'a threat to oceans'

A huge iceberg which broke off the Antarctic could disrupt the world's ocean currents and weather, scientists warn. Ref. Source 9

With all the other icebergs and all the polar ice melting how is this one going to cause such problems? I am not buying it.

Comments: I agree with the last poster. We've been hearing about melting icebergs, melting snowmen and melting snow and everything looks and smells the same except for these scientist looking for something to sell us all.

Threat Iceberg

An Antarctic iceberg nearly the size of Delaware - one of the largest on record - has broken off. One of the largest icebergs ever recorded has broken off from an ice shelf in Antarctica, British scientists announced Wednesday. The chunk of floating ice is roughly the size of Delaware, at nearly 2,000 square miles. Ref. USAToday.

Threat Iceberg

Stronger winds heat up West Antarctic ice melt. Stronger winds 6000kms away on the East Antarctic, have generated waves that circle the continent at almost 700kmh. When these waves meet the steep underwater topography of the West Antarctic Peninsula they push warm water under the ice shelves. This helps explain the increased ice melt in this region that can lead trillion tonne ice shelves, like Larsen C, to break away from the continent. Source 6k.

Wow, waves that move that fast? I had no idea. I can see how something like that can have an immense impact on the ice there.

Iceberg Threat

A slow movement or a fast movement of warmer water into the frozen ice sheets can cause many ice bergs to break off and change the weather in the area. The fact that this is happening during their winter month just shows you the impact of global warming over the entire planet.

Nearly a quarter of West Antarctic ice is now unstable. In only 25 years, ocean melting has caused ice thinning to spread across West Antarctica so rapidly that a quarter of its glacier ice is now affected, according to a new study. Source 4j.
