Oh Shit.

FYI this particular break is not a result of climate change.

>>9031044 Here's the new one
>>9031059 That's also in those articles. Not sure if it could have accelerated it though. No matter if it did if I'm not mistaken such events could happen more easily due to climate change. It also shows how such large-scale geographic events keep happening which is something people must become aware of if they are to take existential risks seriously.

>>9031059 >>9031121 Actually the glaciologist who discovered the break, Dr. Daniela Jansen from the Alfred Wegener Institute, suggests it might actually have to do with climate change.

(((climate change denial)))

>>9031059
No, but it has consequences for climate-change-induced melting.

That ice shelf helped act as a barrier to glaciers.

thanks a lot pol, this is what you get for opting out of the paris agreement.

>>9031273 Do you by any chance have some source saying this at hand?

>it disrupts the oceanic currents
>a new ice age is about to happen this year

o shiit

>>9031521
there's articles everywhere, just google it.

larsen c didn't hold back much ice but it did hold some, and there's lots of other shelves holding back a LOT

>>9031698 Do I sense some cognitive dissonance there? You don't really believe that do you?
She discovered the break which should be enough already - no need to claim it has to do with climate change. She didn't claim that climate change was the cause of this.
More research and funding is DEFINITELY needed. If they aren't provided humanity should rethink/rebuild the processes that allocate financial and alike resources.

>>9031357
That's much more reasonable than saying it certainly isn't a result of climate change.

>>9031698
Disproving climate change would secure more funding.

>>9031833
science, bitch

This is why I'm getting flash flood warnings. We enever get flash flood warnings.

Why are you even on this board?

>>9032986
According to the MIDAS team, that has been studying this phenomenon for 22 years, in their press declaration they say that there is no evidence to link this to global warming.

I'm not saying that global warming is not real, just that so far, it doesn't seem this is an effect of it.

In the other hand, the team speculates that global warming will affect the "regeneration" of the ice, making the area even more unstable.

looks like /pol/ had infected /sci/.

>>9036412
/pol/ has been trying and failing to "redpill" /sci/ for years. They've succeeded at nothing but shitting up the place.
It turns out that even memes don't trump facts.

>>9036412
/pol/ has infected even /wsg/ and /i/

so much for containment

>>9038013
I just noticed that this works perfectly well with /r9k/ too...

>>9038013
This. Fuck drumpfgh and fuck white people.

/pol/ is a huge amount of total traffic now, to the point most others are way less than 10% of its post rate. with those numbers of course you will get cancer spread.

however some faggot using ((()))) is far less disruptive to the thread than the constant bitching about containment boards as soon as you see any /pol/ related meme. Not to mention that plenty now just post as /pol/acks to troll people.

>the constant bitching about containment boards

Now that you mention it, I can't recall the last time that I heard the "containment boards" thing.

I think it came with /mlp/. After that we all blamed /pol/. Before all that we blamed it on stormfront.
