Crying over broken Ice

So a really really big ice sheet broke off from Canada, and whilst the world recovers from it's total indifference, let me put forward my denialist 2c.

This could be a bad thing, especially for shipping near Canada, however the authors of the article assume things that many believers in The Warming take to heart, even though facts and history tend to show that it's something that happened before and will most likely happen again. And the world will continue to turn.

"These changes are irreversible under the present climate and indicate that the environmental conditions that have kept these ice shelves in balance for thousands of years are no longer present," said Mueller."

So are you saying that this ice shelf has been a permanent feature of the Canadian landscape since Gondwana land broke up? If not, then clearly this breakage has never happened before and it's only since the evil capitalists discovered the steam engine that ice-shelves break off? And that use of the word "balance"...are you saying that the current climate is in "balance"? Who's to say that this climate is the "optimal" climate? Has the earth's climate actually ever been in "balance"?

"But today, warmer temperatures and a changing climate means there's no hope for regrowth. A scary scenario," said Mueller."

Note he is talking about the regrowth of an ICE SHELF. So scary, you could make a movie about it...oh wait a minute..

"Now that it's disappeared, we're looking at ecosystems on the verge of extinction,' said Mueller"

Note to Mr Mueller and the writers at Wired: 99.9% of all plant and animal species that have ever lived, have gone extinct. It happens all the time. Humans wouldn't be here if it hadn't. I don't know if the world economy will recover if the two species of Arctic Canadian Krill disappear forever.

In other news, it snowed last week in Kenya. I wonder how many of Al Gore's climate models predicted that particular phenomenon?
