During the last period of "global warming," no doubt?
Better watch it down there, shaggs. Them thar melt 'round your parts 'n you're likely to be swummin' to work!
It snowed in central Florida last night. Next thing we know, cats and dogs will be sleeping together.
Does anyone know what George W. Bush and Karl Rove were up to back then?
Too many icebergs? Global Warming.
Too few icebergs? Global Warming.
We better get serious about global warming and melt those buggers before there's another Titanic.
Not to worry:
High-resolution studies of North Atlantic deep sea cores demonstrate that prominent increases in iceberg calving recurred at intervals of 2000 to 3000 years, much more frequently than the 7000-to 10,000-year pacing of massive ice discharges associated with Heinrich events. The calving cycles correlate with warm-cold oscillations, called Dansgaard-Oeschger events, in Greenland ice cores. Each cycle records synchronous discharges of ice from different sources, and the cycles are decoupled from sea-surface temperatures. These findings point to a mechanism operating within the atmosphere that caused rapid oscillations in air temperatures above Greenland and in calving from more than one ice sheet.

No no. This is global cooling heading north.
It's just about summertime down under, eh?
Just think of the money you could make selling all that melted iceberg to the yuppies. Gourmet water.
"Fishing boats are reporting icebergs..."
That seems like a bigger story than the icebergs. I did not even know that a fishing boat could talk.

This isn't news - helicopter pilots are already taking tourists for explorations.
saw it on Fox 2 nights ago.

Rove should stop sulking in the corner of his room and go turn that durned weather machine off, pronto!
They are floating north from the south pole, does this indicate global warming or global cooling? (I am so confused)
,,, the tinkle of ice at sunset, off the coast of... Timaru. Keep it cool all the way up the coast to Castlepoint Brian and give me a yell. I'll be ready with the whitebait net.
"Ocean Patriot" is off the coast of New Plymouth drilling a 3600m hit at a probable oil deposit right now and that doesn't happen too often around here either.
