It just makes no sense what the anti-global warming crowd says. If the ship sank from hitting an iceberg, how can this be, since libs make it very clear that the ice is melting so fast. Even if it was true, we could definitely benefit from this anyway because we wouldn't really have this problem any more.

Because, if you knew anything about icebergs, you'd know that there are more of them BECAUSE of global warming.
Now, run along and leave the science to scientists.

Or perhaps the iceberg was there because global warming causes ice shelves to collapse from the ice caps.
Global warming is fact. The debate is about whether it has been caused by human activity.
And it's spelled Antarctic.

Because more and more pieces of the Antarctic are melting and breaking off. It's BECAUSE of global warming that that ship hit an iceberg.
An iceberg the size of DELAWARE broke off of the failing ice sheet a few years ago.

An iceberg is created when a piece of ice breaks free and falls into the ocean...thanks for proving that global warming exists.

Your education must have been abruptly cut short. Take an ice cube out of the freezer and time how long it takes to melt at room temp. Now imagine it is a ten billion times larger. Get it? If not see "geological timescale".

I don't think it is a political issue but a global one that affects all living creatures on the planet.
Sir David Attenborough has already delivered his message from his view point and it will be too late if you are only convinced it is happening when it is too hot to go outside after 10 am.

One really has nothing to do with the other. If we are in a normal cycle of global warming, that doesn't mean all the icebergs vanish.
Also, even if all the ice melted, we wouldn't have the floods predicted by the nay sayers. Fill your glass with ice and water. Does it overflow when the ice melts?

The ice in the polar regions melts every summer, this time of year in the southern hemisphere, so icebergs are to be expected and this is nothing to do with any unnatural phenomena. As to global warming it is just a government scam to increase tax and by scientists to increase spending on their projects which are of little value to the public.
I suspect that the vessel sank because someone was not paying attention.

Very funny. Please read something about global warming before claiming that all ice would melt as soon as the Earth's average temperature increases by 1 or 2 degrees.

Global warming causes ice sheets to melt and break off and form more icebergs.
Surely you are educated enough to already know that.

Are you playing dumb and dumber. Put you crayons down and do some reading of stuff without the pictures. It will take until 2040 for the ice cap to melt, and probably before then you will learn something...anything.
