Bridge To Somewhere Shatters

But, but, but, but, global warming is just am made-up crisis, made up by liberal Marxists, or liberal fascists, or liberal liberals, who knows? Somebody made it up, look at how cold it's been up here in northern Wisco this spring? It sure is hard to keep denying global warming. The dickwads on the right will keep trying, however.
An ice bridge holding a vast Antarctic ice shelf in place has shattered and may herald a wider collapse caused by global warming, a scientist said Saturday.

The loss of the ice bridge could mean a wider breakup of the ice shelf, which is about the size of Connecticut.
This series of satellite images shows the Wilkins Ice Shelf as it begins to break up. The large image is from March 6. The images at right, from top to bottom, are from Feb. 28, Feb. 29 and March 8. The images were processed from the MODIS satellite sensor flying on NASA's Earth Observing System Aqua and Terra satellites. Images courtesy NSIDC, NASA, University of Colorado.
