Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse Tied to Global Warming

LONDON, England, October 16, 2006 (ENS) -

Scientists on Monday reported the first direct evidence linking the 2002

collapse of an Antarctic ice shelf to global warming. The researchers found

that stronger westerly winds in the northern Antarctic Peninsula, fuelled

primarily by human-induced climate change, were responsible for the dramatic

summer warming that led to the retreat and collapse of the Larson B ice

shelf.

"This is the first time that anyone has been able to demonstrate a physical

process directly linking the break-up of the Larsen Ice Shelf to human

activity," said lead author Gareth Marshall from the British Antarctic

Survey (BAS).

====================================

Like I said before,

WE did this.

WE need to accept responsibility.

WE need to work together to fix it.

All the best,
