Re: Huge Antarctic ice chunk collapses

If the shelf 'collapsed' shouldn't we have all gotten a bit wet on or about the morning of Feb 29 ( 500 MPH x 9,000 miles).

Since we didn't, I'd conclude the ice was already floating on the ocean.  So what exactly is meant by collapse? 

A piece of the floating shelf separated from the bigger part of the floating shelf...  OMG, the big ice cube split into 2 smaller but equal ice cubes.

This is *not* the end of the world.  CNN (fear mongers that they are) erroneously invented a quote: "Scientists *worry* (emphasis mine) that it too may collapse."  No we don't!  It's cool that we get to watch something like this.

If anything, bringing that much ice north into the tropics will cool the atmosphere by just a smidgen.  Yep, it's cyclic, that's all.
