So an ancient ice shelf the size of Paris, France (41 square miles) has broken free from Canada’s Artic.  And according to scientists, this is entirely consistent with global warming.

(Science & Space) Ancient ice shelf breaks free from Canadian Arctic 

TORONTO, Ontario (AP) — A giant ice shelf the size of 11,000 football fields has snapped free from Canada’s Arctic, scientists said.

The mass of ice broke clear 16 months ago from the coast of Ellesmere Island, about 800 kilometers (497 miles) south of the North Pole, but no one was present to see it in Canada’s remote north.

Scientists using satellite images later noticed that it became a newly formed ice island in just an hour and left a trail of icy boulders floating in its wake.

Warwick Vincent of Laval University, who studies Arctic conditions, traveled to the newly formed ice island and could not believe what he saw.

“This is a dramatic and disturbing event. It shows that we are losing remarkable features of the Canadian North that have been in place for many thousands of years. We are crossing climate thresholds, and these may signal the onset of accelerated change ahead,” Vincent said Thursday.

So is it just me or is this some seriously spooky stuff?  The very geography of our beautiful blue and white planet — the way it appears on globes and maps — is changing forever.  And it’s doing so because of damage we Homo sapiens, supposedly the “highest” and “most intelligent” descendents from that first spark of life in the primordial muck, have caused to the earth through our arrogance and neglect.

I don’t mind telling you, it scares the piss out of me.
