NASA really rocked the boat around the world in February when it announced the discovery of a 19-mile-long crack off the Western side of Antarctica, a crack poised to calve off an iceberg the size of New York City.
On Monday, NASA released a new video of the latest aerial observations of the crack — located on Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier. What NASA discovered was not only has the crack widened and lengthened, but it’s also led to a smaller, secondary crack.NASA Goddard Flight Center calving specialist Kelly Brunt explained in the video that although the cracks in the glacier are evidence that the ice in region is thinning and the flow accelerating, and in turn, adding to a rise in sea level, it’s still within what can be considered “normal” annual fluctuations in the ice levels.
wait a minute, didn't Mitt crack a now not so funny attempt at a joke about "Prsident Obama promise's to stop the rise of the oceans" an obvious quip to deny global warming.
science is a reality they live and breathe it everyday and yet in their world it doesn't exist, it's the free market that holds this hold big blue marble tgether. deregulation will kill that theory in a heartbeat or lack of a heartbeat.
NASA expects the New York City-sized glacier to calve off any day now.
consider yourself lucky if you voted for Romney. there would be no global warming actiuons till it was too late, NASA gone the way of Planned Parenthood and medicareas we know it now.
