Mariners are warned that at 1200 GMT, on December 9th, 2009, an iceberg, know as “B178B” approximately 1,700 kilometres (1,054 miles) south-southwest of the West Australian coast was observed.
“B17B” is 140 square kilometres in area…19 kilometres long; by eight kilometres wide.
Experts think that B17B is likely to break up as it enters warmer waters nearer Australia, creating hundreds of smaller icebergs, creating even a wider hazard to passing ships.
OK, tell me that there is no global warming…giant icebergs breaking off…try and deny it now. What do you think Baby Boomers? Is there global warming? In the 60’s I spoke out against global warming. $0 years would have made a “world” of difference in our air and even with the water that we drink.
