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.

Let's adapt to clean energy, if any consequences comes from the use in the future mankind would still find a way to adapt and find less consequential sources, that's what this is all about, should people continue logging wood to cook because maybe in some years the effects of using solar energy would emerge? What after effects for you think would ever result from powering noiseless trains with wind energy? You can as well advice nations to keep setting up nuclear plants here and there because the effects of harnessing solar energy (none known currently) would maybe emerge in future, what kind of logic is that?

NickD:

U have a valid argument on that based on displacement
theory or should I say upthrust in Physics. Nice perspective I
actually haven't looked at it from this angle but then it
means when there is a massive wave there would be more
water in the sea that would cause more destruction so in
the end it's still the same result of more flooding to those
coastal towns that's the argument.

BuddhaPalm:


My oga this global warming part is Fake News...

Here's from the CNN article you linked:


"Calving is a natural occurrence, but scientists have been exploring whether climate change may have played a role in expediting the rift.

The team of researchers have not yet found "any link to human-induced climate change," Martin O'Leary, a Swansea University glaciologist and member of the MIDAS project team, said in a statement."

What's ur point
Carrying out research? Are you saying that's not a white collar job? And do you think they work for free?

I do what I know best and am enjoying it. Offer me bank work of 500k per month, I no go work. [b]I personally, know what an average igboman can do in the tech industry but school and Nigeria [/b]has deceived us a whole lot. If i become a the presido today, I will scrap the current education will call university. After, secondary school, you will be attached to a company and after 5yrs, you will be given bsc according to your productivity. Instead of enriching some few pple that calls themselves lecturers who comes to class to read textbooks written by someone who died decades ago.

The only plausible explanation to this is that water expands in volume when translated from solid to liquid...hence a bucket filled with ice...will overspill it's content greatly when melted to liquid..

ogocology:
Much as there is need to be careful, the whole issue is quite exaggerated.
Water actually expands when it freezes, right?
The ice that broke off is already inside the ocean, at least most of it (since iceberg has most of its mass under water), correct?
Now, tell me again how its melting would result in as much as 10cm rise in global water level.
Kindly recall that the iceberg (both visible and hidden parts) has already displaced equal weight of its volume in the space (this time, ocean) where it is submerged.

majekdom2:
you have shown you are unintelligent with the bolded. There are so many people in the Tech space. Igbo, Hausa, yoruba, American, brazilan. Well, na y you no go turn presido because you are emotionally unitelligent to know that many are looking for jobs not because they wish to or can't do more but simply there is no structure and opportunity. How many companies in Nigeria are there to employ the so called after secondary school graduates Or do you think companies are charities. What skills does an average secondary school leaver posses that will increase the profit of the company. Thats what the company is after not your jamborie theories. Not everyone works for money. A job may be a platform for you to show your research skills. It's either you are still a teenager or the unprogressive critic as I can see in the bolded. You have made no sense Mr!

Nossa:

Simple logic just cast doubt on authenticity of their predictions

obscitas:


You are wrong...The 5kg of ice have always been in the water...remove it...put it back...nothing changes...

mecussey:


Well, if thats what you call untelligent, your opinion. I see you are very comfortable with the current status of the nation but I am not. If you understand what a company is, you won't ask me how many company.....no need for argument sha bc we have different views. My point is Universities should be productive and not destructive. Call it another name with another goal, it becomes a company. Tell me what our universities produce, nothing but un-oriented graduates with no directions. Let us start reasoning broadly, how can you be doing the same thing for over 50yrs of independence and expect sth different?

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?

GoodMuyis:


The Godly Good thing is the ecosystem will regulate itself, evaporation may increase before the ice finish melting

DrayZee:

Lol. This your bucket example though. It has a flaw.
If the ice was never in the bucket full of water in the first place, then of course the bucket would spill water.
But here, the ice has always been there. It simply broke off.

prettyboi1989:
i dont really think this will cause much damage. nature recycles itself. the likely rise in ocean water due to the icebergs might just get sucked up by the sun and come down as rain. however the rains might just be torrential.

Explorers:


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

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 with collar jobs.

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
