Where did your local paper put the collapsing ice shelf story?

[Sabriel]

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had it on 9A and didn't devote much space to it.

Here are the stories ahead of it and larger:

--Saudi king urges interfaith talks
--Flaws hinder high-tech census
--France could skip opening of Olympics
--Group cites waste of Afghan aid funds

The collapse of a giant ice shelf, in light of everything else that's happening to the environment, seems a tad more crucial than those other stories.

What importance did your local paper assign this event?

2. The picture was obviously photoshopped by some fucking liberal

Global Warming is a freaking myth spread by evil bastards who hate god and hate the world. - I occasionally try my write like a moron conservative skills. I still got the touch.

To answer your question, buried deep in the two locals that I get.

3. I have yet to see any graphic that shows the true scale of the ice shelf

That satellite photo they show on TV makes it look about the size of a football field.

8. Here is a good overview satellite pic

The area that broke off is 400 square kilometers, the total wilkins ice shelf is 13000 square km.

However, this collapse and the on e more to the north lead to only a very narrow strip of ice connecting to the antartctic peninsula, and it is the only barrier to a further collapse...

9. Thanks for the graphic.

I know how big it is, but the MSM makes it look much smaller. They never give the scale.

Though they did give a little blurby splash of color in a box on the front page (way down at the bottom).
