This must be the third time they have published this event since late July, wonder why the timing today?

[gidget7]

On No! Somebody quick, call the capt of the Titanic!!

Palin to Canada: All your ice are belong to us.

[xJones]

Maybe because of articles like this today: Arctic Sees Massive Gain in Ice Coverage [twice the size of Germany: "colder weather" to blame

If someone is basing their career on global warming, the last they want is to see proof to the contrary.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yup! Leave the terrorists on it till it melts and blame their demise on AlGorebull and his warming scam. May be he will volunteer his new houseboat to rescue one or two.

I can't wait to see the photos in the MSM of a couple of them clinging to a few square feet of ice and hear the whining cries of the leftists.

It’s headed for New Orleans!

Good, it will cool down the storms!

Canada to the rescue again!

[Iron Munro]

A chunk of ice shelf nearly the size of Manhattan has broken away from Ellesmere Island

I'll give them $24 dollars worth of cheap beads and trinkets for it.<>p

[Hi Heels]

Don't they know, it's the eeeennnddd of the world...

"This must be the third time they have published this event since late July..."

You mean three thirds have already broken off? How much more of this can we take? Nothing but doom and gloom everywhere I look.

If it broke off Canada can I claim it as a independent country?

[Core_Conservative]

didn’t I read a couple of weeks ago that the reason why the polar ice cap is melting is because of volcanic activity under the north pole? - if someone remembers the article - I would be happy if you would post it.

[gundog]

Hmmm....ice melting in the Northern Hemisphere in September....yep...we’re doomed.

[Leo Carpathian]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm,
mabee ruskies are having bonefire under the iccce?
Will ice cubes get cheaper? Sell!

[Waco]

Quick, Stat, shazam, 0’bambi, get ass in gear. save us.

[arasina]

It's headed for New Orleans!

LOL! (Ha! You kill me!)

[centurion316]

This is going to send all those Ice Road Truckers to the unemployment line, doubling the unemployment figures of Canada. Meanwhile, in other news, satellite data reveals that the extent of arctic ice for 2008 is 13% above that observed for 2007, representing an area twice the size of Germany. Maybe those truckers won’t be on the dole after all.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Palin’s fault.

[-YYZ-]

OMG, 19 square miles?!? Now there’s only 999,981 sq miles of ice left on Ellesmere Island.

[GOPJ]

I've never heard of such a thing - can we name the phenomena? My suggestion is "iceberg" €...
