Things that only some people care about.


In climate change-related news:

Huge ice shelf breaks loose in Canadian arctic

'Shocking event' another sign of warming in polar frontier, scientists say


TORONTO - A chunk of ice shelf nearly the size of Manhattan has broken away from Ellesmere Island in Canada's northern Arctic, another dramatic indication of how warmer temperatures are changing the polar frontier, scientists said Wednesday.

Derek Mueller, an Arctic ice shelf specialist at Trent University in Ontario, told The Associated Press that the 4,500-year-old Markham Ice Shelf separated in early August and the 19-square-mile shelf is now adrift in the Arctic Ocean.

In Blogging Tory news, it's going to be cool this weekend; therefore, global warming is a myth.

You only wish I was kidding.
