The ice shelf is supported by the water, except for a bit near the shore.
“This calving event has been expected and is part of the natural behavior of the Brunt Ice Shelf. It is not linked to climate change. Our science and operational teams continue to monitor the ice shelf in real-time to ensure it is safe, and to maintain the delivery of the science we undertake at Halley,” Professor Dominic Hodgson a BAS glaciologist said in a news release.

For those that don't RTFA >

That's "read the fucking article" for those who don't KTFA (know the fucking acronym).
Do you know what they mean by "ensure that [the ice shelf] is safe?" Are they talking about the safety of the impacted flora/fauna or the integrity of the piece that broke off or something totally different? >

But if I “read the fucking article” there is no way for me express my improperly place outrage and blame! So I’m going to stick with KJR (knee jerk reactions) TYVM!! (Thank you very much!

WTF (Well that's fine), but if you aren't going to ROFL (read original factual language), please understand you are going to need to LMAO (let me artfully object0. >

SMH (shaking my hips). >

But do your hips lie?? >

What if her hips were lying this whole time? >

You may not know it, but this is how the Emperor penguins began their conquest of the world. >

I, for one, welcome our new penguin overlords. >

Great, Antarctica has gone “woke”. >

It should have done it’s own research before deciding that climate change was real and start melting. >

This is obviously a paid actor ice shelf, bused in to make the right look bad for questioning the narrative that Antarctica is anything but a rim around the flat earth meant to keep people from exploring further. Might I add it snowed in Oklahoma this week, so checkmate. >

The real ice shelf melted or didn't even break off in the first place. This must be a clone. Something something spike proteins, too. Pay attention. >

Nice. Where’s it going? >

South Africa, probably. >

Oh thats tite. >

I felt a great disturbance in the force >

This event sounds like a normal non climate related incident, according to the article if you read it. >


according to the article if you read it.

Do what now? >

Asking for a friend, but... will this help or hurt Florida? >

Neither.  It was already in the water (the ice shelf is in ocean, not over land) so cleaving this iceberg off won't change ocean levels. >

Like completely in the water, or is a little bit of it above the water?
