Despite a recent trend of disbelief toward global warming, Mother Nature has just made herself clear.

A giant, trillion-tonne iceberg hasjust broken away from Antarctic ice shelf, and it’s an alarm we should all be heeding.

The iceberg, which has an area of roughly 4 times the size of London at 5800 km2, was part of an ice sheet known as Larsen C.

Researchers at Swansea University had been watching the glacial divide for months, and using satellite imaging, they were able to determine that the iceberg ‘calved’ (broke away) from Antarctica sometime between July 10th and 12th.

Flooding loading

Due to the rapid rising of temperatures in West Antarctica, ice shelves are becoming more fragile than ever.

Not only does this massive iceberg pose a security risk to maritime traffic, its separation could cause glaciers stabilized by Larsen C to drift into the Atlantic Ocean and melt, which could raise the global water mark by 10 centimeters.

That rogue ice disrupts maritime safety, then melts, causing water levels all around the world to rise.



Polar animal species like emperor penguins, are also threatened by the slow decimation of their habitats.

O ga o.
What harm does this pose?


Modified, thanks for all that contributed.
So una mean say places like lekki,banana island,vi,ikoyi,elegushi water go just throway all of them?

So, global warming aint a fluke afterall

There has been different climate changes eg ice age without human emissions. I am with Trump on this global warming thing, would stopping emmisions turn the tide of the so called global warming. Nothing bt propaganda abeg

nawa ooo....global warming ringing.

More things that ll lead to extinction of man

But

We ll always find a way to survive

And I was thinking of travelling to Europe with my private jet tomorrow or next chaiii.

Some scientist are with and some are against the fact that this can lead to rise in sea level after melting.

They claimed that the break off has claimed 10% of the ice shelf and that can hasten more glacial flowing into the ocean.



But to me personally, i believe that this can cause the ocean level to rise.

Just like filling a bucket with water, then drop 5kg of ice into it.

Its going to spill now abi


Pictured is what normal iceberg looks like, its floating and about 80% of the mass is underwater.

Now imagine something that's over over a trillion-tonne, 5800km2

Coastal regions all over the world should be at alert. Oh Lekki! Ordinary rainfall and you were flooded. I pray your residents get sense and emulate Noah.

Wow. That's terrible

Africa is blessed

The global warming thingy is real,I dont really know why Trump is against it.

Aremu01:
Africa is blessed

Oga all men are involved oo. Just be at alert if you're living at the coastal region.

Will it be that badly felt globally.??

while scientists from other part of the world are busy carrying out research and monitoring what's happening in the world, our own dear scientists are busy carrying about long long files roaming our street looking for white collar jobs..

see how they are attacking me oo.
sorry if my comment hits u really bad.

which kind talk be this again?


there must be a way biko

Definitely bro, if it keeps breaking and melting.

flooding.

that's about a trillions of trillions litre of water, it will increase the world water level, thereby causing flood in most Part of the world.

LOl... I find it amazing some of you still believe this global warming crap.

I find it embarrassing U still hold such crappy reasoning..
