Timing

Somebody is up to tricks to help out the beleaguered Climate conference in Copenhagen. Glaciologist Neil Young had discovered a massive iceberg 1700 kilometers off the coast of Australia. Using satellite photos, he has determined the size to be 19 kilometers long and 8 kilometers wide. This is scary and must be the result of Global warming, no? But hang on for just a minute. Upon closer inspection, this massive iceberg has been around for a while, a long while. It was the year 2000 when it was first seen to break off, or calve, from the Antarctic ice shelf. It poses no threat and is indeed one of many such icebergs that break off every thirty years or so. These Global warming people are getting desperate for stunts that will scare us all into believing that we humans are causing changes to our climate, which, by the way, has been changing since it was created. This is just business as usual.
