An Iceberg the Size of Delaware Has Broken Off Antarctica, Just in Time to Destroy the World

Please be world ending. Please be world ending. Please be world ending.

Finally, something that could bring us all together, a gigantic fucking iced-berg the size of Delaware just broke off Antarctica and is now barreling towards the continents, in a move that is sure to destroy the planet.

Nah, I was kidding about the last part. Chalk it up to a little fake news for the morning shitpost.

One of the biggest icebergs on record has broken away from Antarctica, scientists said on Wednesday, creating an extra hazard for ships around the continent as it breaks up.

The one trillion tonne iceberg, measuring 5,800 square km, calved away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica sometime between July 10 and 12, said scientists at the University of Swansea and the British Antarctic Survey.

The iceberg has been close to breaking off for a few months. Throughout the Antarctic winter, scientists monitored the progress of the rift in the ice shelf using the European Space Agency satellites.

“The iceberg is one of the largest recorded and its future progress is difficult to predict,” said Adrian Luckman, professor at Swansea University and lead investigator of Project MIDAS, which has been monitoring the ice shelf for years.

“It may remain in one piece but is more likely to break into fragments. Some of the ice may remain in the area for decades, while parts of the iceberg may drift north into warmer waters,” he added.

Antarctica is a fascinating place. I’ve seen several documentaries on it and I am certain the government hides a bunch of secret shit there. God willing, the entire thing will melt the fuck down — raise the sea levels around the world, and make the earth quiet again. Personally, I wouldn’t mind reverting back to the times of the Wooly Mammoth — hunting and gathering with a spear in tow — pistol on my waist.

    The iceberg aint melting any time soon. We are entering a mini ice age period due to decreasing activity of the Sun – a perfectly normal and regular cycle. Don’t listen to the dipshit pinko marxists peddling the global warming bullshit – their agenda is to institute, enforce and trade carbon credits to further enrich themselves at the expense of the plebs.

      They don’t fool me none. There is always a scheme to plunder and loot the people.

      Lying pinko thermometers telling us that average temps are increasing?

      Try to hold these two thoughts at the same time:
      1 Goldman can try to make money by setting up a carbon credit exchange
      2 Carbon can trap heat in our atmosphere

      The fact that connected dirtbags seek to profit from science, doesn’t negate science.

    The Ark laughs at state-sized icebergs.
