It's the end of summer in the southern hemisphere. It happens.

Antarctica is 5.4 million square miles in area.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctica

160 square miles is nothing.

.00002963 of the ice mass.

At that rate it would take 1000 years to lose .02963 of the ice mass.
If that were to happen once a year every year for 1000 years.

Now that is underwhelming.

* Lets see we have had three major ice shelves in the antarctic collapse
within the last 15 years. *Zero in the previous 100 years.


Cite? You have ice shelf reports dating back to 1908?


* Apparently it doesn't happen very often, and is happening with great
frequency today.


Apparently? How the f do you know? Cite?

At that rate, Antarctica will disappear in 33,750 years, IF NO MORE
WATER EVER FREEZES TO FORM ICE THERE.

But of course, freezing does happen, and we will have Antarctica
forever.

Sorry, no 'it happens' there. As usual, the denialist has nothing.

Poor Tundy blows off others' requests for cites, then hops up and down
yelling 'cite! cite!' lol
