As was earlier noted, the bears in Spain are in on the global warming hoax, and now it appears that even inanimate objects, glaciers, are in on the hoax, too! I wonder what Michael Crichton has to say about this?
A giant ice shelf has snapped free from an island south of the North Pole, scientists said Thursday, citing climate change as a "major" reason for the event.
The Ayles Ice Shelf -- all 41 square miles of it -- broke clear 16 months ago from the coast of Ellesmere Island, about 500 miles south of the North Pole in the Canadian Arctic.

Every year for the last several years, the minimum…
Did you ever leave your freezer door slightly open on a humid day only to find chunks of new ice formed at the gap? When that happens, did you conclude "Oh, my freezer is colder than usual, I wonder how that happened?" No. You concluded that you had left the door slightly open, some cold got out…
Much has been made of a good-journalism award handed by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists to Michael Crichton for his science-fiction novel, State of Fear. I wrote back in pre-Scienceblog days that the AAPG had gone off the deep end by confusing a bad novel with a "notable…
Yesterday I was playing with the idea that we would take recycled plastic and make artificial ice floes out of it.
I'll bet Michael Crichton will write a book and in his new book glaciers will be child molesters.
Send a forensic team up there and I'm sure you'll find traces of high explosives on that shelf proving that it was evil environmental activists who created this event to prove global warming is taking place. Crichton has already written a book about it.
Your evil plot to kill seals (which chew airholes in the ice ... that's why polar bears have those long necks and long jaws) is wrong and immoral!
(ok, I knew you were joking.)
Does this mean that we soon won't be able to use the term "glacially slow."?
I went outside today - and it was quite cold!
therefore global warming can not be real!
Why can't everyone understand this?
It must therefore be a commie/liberal plot to achieve something or other...
Global warming hrmmmph -
its 'kin freezin here!
