So wait, this happened in 1986??

But I'm being told by news outlets that we are the cause of global warming (even though in 1986 I never once heard that term) so I call bullshit. Here's an except from an article I was just reading.

"A23a is on the move after nearly three decades of being grounded on the seafloor in Antarctica. The huge mass of ice broke away from the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in 1986, calved and grounded on the Antarctic’s Weddell Sea floor almost immediately."

To me it sounds like natural life is moving right along and we're here for pictures.

What do you think caused the ice to break away?

Rising temperatures, caused by us.

@SW-User what I was getting at is, in 1986, I never heard the words global warming. It comes across to me as it's a term that came about in the early 2000's that politicians use for leverage.

@SW-User because iceburgs move toward the ocean they eventually break off. If they didnt thhey would just build up to astronomical depth
