Seven Times the Size of Manhattan

The great thaw cannot be denied. Even a meathead president ought to be able to see that. From Greenland to Antarctica glaciers and ice shelves, stable for thousands of years, are breaking up.

Here is an article of yet another ice skirt on the coast of Antarctica that bit the dust: Western Antarctic Ice Chunk Collapses . An edge of the Wilkins Ice Shelf (about the size of Connecticut) fell into the sea like so much shattered glass. That is a lot of ice. It covered an area about seven times the size of Manhattan.
