So a piece of ice fell of Canada?

Question

big whoop! as u can see in bbc news, i lump of ice (20sq km) has broken off....and. why is this even in the news, does it actually effect of have any meaning? anyway your opinions please. spank you.

Answer 1

This pack of ice braking is evidence that it is thinning. And thinner ice implies hotter water.

This is a manifestation of global warming (irrespective of what is causing it, it is happening).

Big whoop? That depends. Do you live near a cost? Then get ready to eventually move inland or try to devolve back to a fish.

Answer 2

Was Canada hurt when the ice fell off?

Answer 3

Canada is the second biggest country in the world and they don't want to lose that status.

Answer 4

It means global warming is beginning to rear its ugly head you tool

Answer 5

when glacial ice falls off into the ocean, it melts faster. thus, making the sea levels rise... which is a big concern for cities near the coast.

also, i can only assume that if enough ice falls into the ocean, it changes the ocean's temperature, which affects ocean currents, which in turn affects our climate patterns.

Answer 6

this is just another example of global warming thats all...
