"A giant ice shelf the size of 11,000 football fields has snapped free from Canada's Arctic, scientists said. "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.
In 10 years of working in the region he has never seen such a dramatic loss of sea ice, he said.
The collapse was so powerful that earthquake monitors 155 miles away picked up tremors from it.
The Ayles Ice Shelf, roughly 41 square miles in area, was one of six major ice shelves remaining in Canada's Arctic.
Scientists say it is the largest event of its kind in Canada in 30 years and point their fingers at climate change as a major contributing factor."
there are all kinds of environmental effects being felt in canada geologicall speaking and among the animal life.
imo it's not a question of whether it is occurring or not, but how large is the impact and is it irreversible. 😬

actually its a seven thousand years cycle, it goes, hot, seven thousand years, cold, seven thousand years, hot. etc.
there's different cycles to differing extents and for different reasons...there is an 11 year cycle of weather changes because of solar max and min
400 years ago there were grape vineyards in scandanavia...and impossibility now because it's too cold

What is it doing to the country you live in? I have noticed differences in climate here. Like many years ago we had really cold winters, we still do have cold winters but not as much snow like we used to.It often comes on the news about global warming, obviously it would take many many years to do proper changes, however i was mainly wandering what effects it has on different countries at the moment. Is there not ways of helping global warming?
We have had floods, bigger ones/tornadoes more in this country(not where i live right here). Was pretty shocked to hear about the weather conditions, saying as it is a rather safe nation.
peh, get back 2 ya bong hippie 😠 lol joke 💃

How the hell does the country look like a cereal bowl? And I might move out once we start drowning. But until that moment I'm quite happy where I am. But at the moment I still have this beautiful thing to keep me safe
