Ice melts in summer shock!

You have to hand it to the BBC, they're still trying to find ways to promote the global warming man made climate change scam. Completely ignoring the freezing weather in the southern hemisphere, they're concentrating on the Russian drought and now the fact that a large ice sheet has broken off in the height of summer in Greenland.

BBC.
A giant sheet of ice measuring 260 sq km (100 sq miles) has broken off a glacier in Greenland, according to researchers at a US university.
The block of ice separated from the Petermann Glacier, on the north-west coast of Greenland.
It is the largest Arctic iceberg to calve since 1962, said Prof Andreas Muenchow of the University of Delaware.
The ice could become frozen in place over winter or escape into the waters between Greenland and Canada.
If the iceberg moves south, it could interfere with shipping, Prof Muenchow said.
Cracks in the Petermann Glacier had been observed last year and it was expected that an iceberg would calve from it soon.
The glacier is 1,000 km (620 miles) south of the North Pole.
A researcher at the Canadian Ice Service detected the calving from Nasa satellite images taken early on Thursday, the professor said.
The images showed that Petermann Glacier lost about one-quarter of its 70km-long (43-mile) floating ice shelf.
There was enough fresh water locked up in the ice island to "keep all US public tap water flowing for 120 days," said Prof Muenchow.
He said it was not clear if the event was due to global warming.
The first six months of 2010 have been the hottest on record globally, scientists have said.
Thousands of icebergs calve off Greenland's glaciers annually, but they are seldom so large.
You can almost feel the desperation in the report, despite one of the coldest 6 months with freezing weather all over, it was apparently the warmest 6 months on record. Hell summer didn't really kick into the UK till June, the USA has record blizzards, oh and the Antarctic ice sheets keep on grown and the Arctic icesheets stopped melting, but apparently that was just "weather" not climate change, which is different and only happens when it meets the consensus of the green religion.
They really are getting desperate and they really do think some of us are stupid.
