I don't really see how global warming is to blame for this. It was going to happen eventually.

It's going to happen eventually? If you want to talk about what will happen eventually, the sun will burn out eventually.

If we were discussing the harmful effects of doing meth would you say, I don't see how the drug is to blame for their bad health, they are going to die eventually?

Why don't you go back to saving the carrots. Hey those carrots are going to die eventually too, why shouldn't we eat them and put them to good use. By the way carrots grow in the dirt. You wouldn't say we are drowning the wails by putting them back it the ocean when the beach themselves.

I agree icebergs break off of Ice shelfs don't break off into the ocean. It shouldn't break off all at once it should graduly break down.

I think people are being too effected by the media, that they associate or blame everything that happens to the earth on global warming. People forget about the earth's natural cycles of warming and cooling and that ice shelfs breakin and ice bergs forming are part of that cycle. oh and learn how to spell whales correctly...

First of all, that whole carrots thing was meant as an insult to the vegetarian lifestyle. We farm vegetables, so why shouldn't we farm animals. Animals will die too eventually, so why don't we put them to good use, by eating them?

Second, I believe in global warming, I just don't believe that humans are the main cause of it. If you really wanted to stop the pollution of the atmosphere you would have to stop all the volcanoes from erupting. Not including nukes or other such explosives, they can do a lot more damage to the atmosphere than we ever will.

i believe what eaksport1 said about earths natural heating and cooling cycles. and this would of hapened eventually anyway.
global warming may be to blame or not. if you research more, some areas are cooling just like some areas are heating up.

oh yeah, zcar.300,
this is not bad for the planet, just for humans and other land creatures. fish and marine mammals will have more water and if the earth floods, better for them. if global warming weakens the atmosphere and alows more radiation in thats good, good for mutation. we cant destroy all life on the planet maybe just ourselves.

lnwolf41 Granted that globe warming is a factor, but instead
of crying about rising seas, why don't we tow the berg to california or north carolina ,cut it up and fill all the lakes and resevoirs up with the (ICE)fresh water. Also why not cover the exposed sea with floating concrete boxes and put snow makers on it to reflect the sunlight back into space?

Ah, isn't it human nature to shift the blame.. Of course we are to blame..
Lets go back to Egypt. It wasnt always a desert there, but mis-use of the land over years turned lush fertile soil into sand.. proven study if you dont believe me..
You can only abuse mother nature so much before she fights back.. We werent ment to have cars and factories, if we were, they would have been here at the beginning of time. Our world doesnt know how to deal with whats happening to it, things werent ment t be the way that they are.. And who got us there? US! We are to blame..
We were ment to work side by side with nature, not mutilate and inotxicate it.. Sure there is a natural cycle the earth goes through, but its suposed to be over hundreds/thousands of years, not months or days.. The flash floods and storms and fires all go hand in hand with whats going on..
Its our blindness and failure to open your eyes that is only making things worse.. shifting the blame doesnt help either.. Is saying "its not our fault" going to save us when our homes are under water? I dont think the majority of man kind understands what we are up against...
Watch water world and start planning where youll put your new float home, and watch the day after tomorrow, can you survive a nucular winter?
The ice shelf breaking is a major deal and will have a domino effect on our RAPIDLY changing environment.. Just keep pointing the finger and see where you end up..
