Re: Dear climate change science deniers: Show me the facts.
Understand that the Antarctic has seen temperature reductions in recent years and that the floating bits of ice around Antarctica are always going to be unstable.
The sea ice, which is permanent i.e. it stays all year, extends hundreds of miles beyond most of the coast of Antarctica. Melting is not the cause of floating ice wandering off.
Tip;-Pro tip: When weighing the truth of an issue, dont put much stock in the 'facts' from a guy named Tim the Plumber. Look it up. Wind didnt cause the Ross Ice Shelf to collapse (actually, it hasnt collapsed... its immense, but very large parts have fallen off).
Heres where you look for stuff like this, The Natl Snow and Ice Data Center. Quick Facts on Ice Shelves
