Title: Glacier going boom?

Aside from the putz at the end lecturing about who knows AGW? It's really cool no pun intended.

"CHASING ICE" captures largest glacier calving ever filmed - OFFICIAL VIDEO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC3VTgIPoGU#ws)

That's awesome.

Wouldn't surprise me to learn that some Warmists blew it up in order to obtain "evidence".

Yeah, I bet 10, 20, 50, 100, 250k years ago, that would have never happened...right?

It's a glacier, calving happens!

Well it IS getting warmer , and has been in the short term since 1850.  In the longer term for 15000 years. (and anyone who speaking in terms of meaningful  warming over years or decades, is a MORON. That is Weather.  50 years means 50 samples, and  anyone who knows math knows that is not statistically meaningful in most situations- and especially in situations where the noise is an order of magnitude greater than your signal like this one.) 

Nor is warming bad. ..at one point CO2 was 3000X higher than it is now and  most of the earth was covered with a Rain forest. It was one of the most abundant times for life  on earth. Because food grew everywhere, water was everywhere, and  there was enough heat to let giant reptiles live near the poles. Humanity would prosper in such an environment - probably why the greenies hate the idea.
