Climate in movement….

[I’m not sure I comprehend the full implications of what this post is about - the Larsen C ice shelf being projected to break/calve at any moment or day, producing one of the largest icebergs on record – but as the post below says, I do understand that this is going to be an iconic moment in history.  So I am doing this post purely to share this information – and / but would be very happy if others who are more informed, would like to come in and help the rest of us understand the larger significance :

Larsen C calving : One of the largest icebergs on record

As many have noticed, the Larsen C ice shelf is projected to break/calve at any moment or day, producing one of the largest icebergs on record.

It will be an iconic moment. The coming event has already generated a lot of media attention.

Many have and will connect the event to climate change.  This is an extremely complicated subject.  Poorly constructed connection have already generated pushback.

Climate Signals has assembled a full-annotated run-down of the available science:

Here is some potential framing:

After #LarsenC calving, ice shelf will be smallest on record, probably smallest since interglacial 115,000 years ago https://t.co/wPYGGzJVB3 <https://t.co/wPYGGzJVB3> https://t.co/8qMJ41cV8x <https://t.co/8qMJ41cV8x>

Possibly the largest iceberg on record. Fully-annotated rundown of the science on complicated #climatechange signal:
