    Ice Shelf Collapses in Antartica

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090429/...c_ice_collapse

    On top of that, it's suppose to be close to winter in the Southern Hemisphere.

    If 2012 is a date of disaster, we're on schedule.

    Honestly at this point, if things get much worse, we might need to start putting up cloudy pollution into the atmosphere to reflect light.

    Yea, that's probably the first time an ice shelf has ever collapsed. We're screwed now!

    The next thing you know there might be some earthquakes or even some floods that happen somewhere! Time to retreat to the bunker and wait for the end!

    It had nothing to do with the billions of tons of growing glacial ice pushing down on the ice shelf.

    Remember, Global Warming can cause a cooling effect...
