The alarmist global warming media is ramping up another scare.  A huge piece of one of the ice shelves in northern Antarctica appears to be splitting off from the rest of that ice shelf.  When that happens, sea levels are not expected to rise significantly.  Most of the ice shelf is already underwater, displacing water.

This article in the New York Times is well illustrated.

This is a good time to clarify once again that humans are not responsible in any significant way for this happening nor could humans do anything measurable to change it.  Ice shelves cleave off into the ocean in a continuous, natural process and become icebergs.

The following article explains in simple layman’s terms how human-produced CO2 or even total CO2 plus all other human-produced greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cannot heat the oceans in any significant amount.
