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.

Before there was global warming, there was global cooling back in the seventies, I think. Newsweek had a cover story back them about a coming ice age.

@eli1601 Yep. In grade school, they told us that "air pollution" from cars, factories, etc. was going to cause the next ice age. The terminology shifted from air pollution to carbon emissions, and the ice age shifted to global warming. Then when the warming trend paused, the narrative shifted to climate change so that no matter what the weather does, they can blame humans.
