Fear Huge Icebergs


An unstoppable iceberg four times the size of Manhattan is coming, possibly to the same shipping lanes in which the Titanic sunk. It's huge, and we've had a summer of near biblical climatical havoc, like wildfires in Russia and killer floods in Asia. It's so big it cannot be stopped from drifting, it's unstoppable.

And don't think I'm sounding hysterical to make a point about some news post. All of this was written by Karl Ritter in the first three opening paragraphs of his post for AP. I'm sorry, but when the article starts like a Godzilla movie you expect the ending to be about a giant lizard fighting an ice monster at the heart of Tokyo by the end of it. When the article goes to talk about global warming it's just disappointments all around.

Oh, and the picture is not related to this. It's the ever industrious Thais dumping tanks to create artificial reefs for fish to live in. (source.)
