GIANT 150ft Iceberg Is Floating Past Canada, And It's 50ft Bigger Than The One That Sank Titanic
107Kviews
A small fishing village on Canada’s East Coast has been hit by a sudden flood of tourists after a 150ft tall iceberg became visible near its shoreline over Easter weekend, and they might have to get used to it.
The bombastic berg has parked near Ferryland, a remote community in Newfoundland famous for “Iceberg alley,” a stretch of its coastal waters which are frequented by Arctic visitors. At a whopping 150 feet tall, the iceberg is even larger than the one that notoriously struck and sank the Titanic in 1912. Though you won’t find Jack and Rose checking out Ferryland’s newest occupant, the village has apparently become jammed up by tourists eager to see it, and photos of the phenomenon are already adding up on social media.
Since the iceberg has reached shallow water and is currently stagnant, it’s not likely to drift away anytime soon. This could spell out big business for Ferryland, although according to residents interviewed by CBC, the town’s only 2 restaurants don’t open until the 24th of May.

As beautiful and spectacular the sight of this huge iceberg is, it's scary. And to know there's still people out there who believe global warming is a hoax...
I am not sure that the icebergs are the best evidence to present to climate change deniers as there have always been spring icebergs floating past the coast of Newfoundland. Icebergs which originated in Greenland. Now how climate change affects the icebergs I can not say, not denying, just don't know
Few people doubt that climate change is happening, they doubt man is the only cause. They don't like scare tactics used for political ends.
It absolutely amazes me that some people believe global warming is a hoax. How thick can they be?!?
As thick as trump maybe?
They're not thick, they're evil.
Greenland, shown by high-tech satellite and GPS measurements show the ice sheet is losing ice. It’s melting 8% faster than previous estimates, particularly in areas where the ice sheet comes in direct contact with the ocean. Rising ocean waters and air temperatures are essentially putting ice in a vise grip of warming and speeding up melt. This does not show that the earth is cooling.
Sweep the Leg , I too have a masters degree, which is Physical Anthropology(human skeleton & early hominids). Generally everything about 'Quaternary Science' interests me most, and over its 2.5 million years it has been one huge ice age(Pleistocene), with many periods of glaciation, followed by interglacials, one of which we are currently at the tail end: Holocene. And being at the tail end of this interglacial, we are steadily cooling down from the peak Holocene Climate Optimum of around 7500 bp. It was warmer then than today, and all these kooks are running around screeching about a world burning up? Give me a Bleedin' Break. I'll show you a chart of this Holocene Interglacial below. There are many charts out, and you know how charts go: you can make them look any way you want. But the biggest key here is that all this talk about the next ice age is ignorance speaking. We're already smack right in the middle of one. People naturally don't understand this. Holocene-t...ef2cf6.jpg
Only one degree. Usually they have five.

www.climatedepot.com is a conservative propaganda page that seems to be intent on promoting pro-Trump and anti-Obama climate denial materials. The political slant here makes it not even remotely neutral and therefore is NOT a place to acquire scientific data. Try again.

A master's degree in Physical Anthropology makes you an expert in climate how? It's interesting that you state NASA has bad data and is influenced by money and power (despite being a non-commercial entity that is typically starved of funding), and then you present a chart by C&S Grain Market Consulting, a commercial consulting entity that is a marketing "consultation" business and not a climate specialist. Your definition of skepticism is something I'm skeptical about.

The consensus of scientific opion, which is based on scientific evidence, is that we are undergoing a period of global warming. Any naysayers are only deluding themselves.

You are absolutely Wrong, and have been taken in by the greatest scientific scam in history. This is all about money, and power. The climate always changes, and we are currently headed into a major cooling, due to the Grand Solar Minimum: http://www.climatedepot.com/2016/10/28/russian-scientist-the-new-little-ice-age-has-started/ .

Hi John- I never heard this before, but I definitely admire and respect your posting because you are using data and sources to back up your statements. Those that oppose your view are using no sources, just what they believe to be true. I've always believed Global Warming was real, but as a skeptical person, I realize now I need to delve into the "unpopular" idea a little more. Yes, one should always question what they are told. Thanks for sharing this.
Sweep the Leg cont: Anyway, thanks for your kind words. Here are some links that may interest you: Holocene,History of Earth's Climate - http://www.dandebat.dk/eng-klima7.htm . Climate Change ("Global Warming"?) - http://www.oarval.org/ClimateChangeBW.htm . I also own and operate a small forum, in which we also discuss science. There are a few threads about global warming and things such as the upcoming Little Ice Age(Grand Solar Minimum): https://ai-jane.org/forum-12.html . Check it out. One thing to always remember: "Its The Sun Stupid!" :D That's what is the real cause of all this heating and cooling, not CO2.
Since some people still need proof that climate change is happening here is an excellent resource; https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201703 FYI - I work with environmental scientists (Ecologist, Botanist, and Biologist) and it is 100% agreed upon that climate change is real and the direct result of human activity.
Here's more to consider. We are at the very end of this current interglacial, the Holocene. That's right, we are smack dab, right in the middle of a major ice age, The Pleistocene, and have been there for over 2.5 million years. I repeat, we are in the middle of a major ice age, and only this interglacial keeps us warm. And we are at the very end of it. We could descend into the next glaciation any time: ten years, one hundred years, or more. But But we are ready for the drop, and everyone is worried about a planet burning us up? Get Real, and for Heaven's sake, start educating yourself. Here is David, over at Adapt 2030 showing us that all this hype on Greenland's ice loss as a fraud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DwcWFQFp24 . Please watch it. vostok-58f...2e-png.jpg
First of all Jaclyn, that Arctic ice graph is Danish. And Lake Vostok is a Russian station because they got there first, accidentally. BUT, it is filled with international scientists, because of its location with several miles of ice, AND that prehistoric lake at the bottom of the ice. And you didn't even bother watching that Adapt 2030 video showing how NASA has a history of fudging. And again why is this? If you say Money and influence, YOU WIN! Further, you are thinking weather, instead of climate, and there will always be places, such as New Mexico, where it is late in changing due to the Jet Stream. Educate yourself. Look at things skeptically, Everything! And like the Russian saying "Доверяй, но проверяй" (Doveryai, no proveryai) "Trust, but Verify. As I have stated before, there is a huge difference between intelligence and wisdom. Obviously you has a lot of the former, but not the later. Again, Educate Yourself!
That is complete non-sense! I live in New Mexico where we have experienced record heat for the last three years in a row.... In fact the entire plant has experienced record heat and drought. Your sources are highly suspect coming from Russian scientist and youtube. Try looking at the data NASA has released on climate.
Here's the current ice sheet data, as of March. As you can see, we are well above average and headed upward. Greenland-...14fe67.jpg
Wow, you must be a huge fan of using "alternative facts".
That's beautiful
