Penguins (C) drift on an ice floe beneath a cathedral iceberg in the Southern Ocean in the Australian Antarctic Territory in 2006. An iceberg the size of Luxembourg knocked loose from the Antarctic continent earlier this month could disrupt the ocean currents driving weather patterns around the globe, researchers said Thursday.

I thought I was the one disrupting ocean current by using gasoline in my car. I cannot believe I have been replaced with a hunk of ice.

This is not true unless the iceberg were driving an SUV and exhaling CO2. No way can nature cause anything bad. The world was perfect until someone put humans here. Maybe it was Al Gore’s mom.

Iceberg broke off, probably due to ocean waves, no global warming junk science involved ... But you know they will try, don’t you.

FYI.. this is time at the end of the summer in the Southern Hemisphere that the ice starts to grow again in the Antarctica. Please note that the ice level is slightly above the average since they began satellite measurement of the extent each year:

Also note that total ice has continued to grow (not decrease) since records began:

The UN will probably fund a penguin relocation program.
