World’s largest iceberg is moving for first time in 37 years: ‘The poles will determine the fate of humanity’

One of the world’s largest and oldest icebergs is on the move after being grounded for over three decades, symbolizing how massive Antarctica is along with its profound relationship to the planet’s climate and oceans.

What’s happening?

Scientists are watching closely as the massive, over 1,000-foot-tall iceberg known as A23a makes its way toward the open and warmer waters of the Southern Atlantic Ocean, moving around three miles each day.

The iceberg calved from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986 and is about 1,500 square miles — bigger than the entire state of Rhode Island.

News of A23a’s migration comes after reports of record-high heat that will define 2023 as the warmest year in 125,000 years. Over the past several decades, the Arctic has warmed four times faster than the rest of the world.

I trust their judgment.

By the time it gets to the North Pole it will have melted, thanks to global warming.

‘The poles will determine the fate of humanity’

Either the Poles or the Hungarians, I'm not sure which...

[Secret Agent Man]

“The Poles will determine the future of humanity.”

Lets hope the fate of humanity doesn’t rest on changing a light bulb....

From the Yahoo piece: "the Antarctic Ice Sheet holds 70% of all the fresh water on the planet. It contains enough ice, if melted, to raise the ocean level by about 200 feet

Cue the little skeptical kid.

Question for climate panickers:
When the iceberg melts, the sea level will rise by

(a) 10 feet
(b) 100 feet
(c) 0 feet

Gee I wonder what they would have said about the iceberg that sank the Titanic?

[rktman]

I got new floaties just in case. 😳

[rktman]

Uh, NOT!

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Well, since it’s already floating, the answer is zero.

I had a “science teacher” in high school who didn’t understand that. We kids had to actually run the experiment for him. And that was 50+ years ago!

Q: When the ice piled up in your sweet tea melts, how much does the liquid level rise in the tumbler?

A: Zero, Zip, Nada! Ice contains a large component of air. These climate hustlers are pathetic!

A23a’s migration...

Is this berg a migrant? Headed to our southern border? At least this migrant could bring something useful.

The Satanic Left likes to think the fate of humanity is in their hands and it will appear that way for awhile.

But the world’s fate is firmly in the hands of God our Savior. The world is about to plunge into gross darkness and destruction soon (in a few decades IMO) but as long as you have Jesus, you’ll be just fine.

Icebergs float by displacement.

Which means, they take up the same volume after they melt.

Which means, they don't make the oceans rise when they melt.

This Eureka moment was brought to you by the Dead White Men of Ancient Greece.

Only the Father knows for sure.

Science is racist.

God shares his secrets through something called the Bible.
