CNN is “freaking out” about the latest large iceberg that broke off from Antarctica.
More climate change scaremongering from the king of fake news: CNN.
The latest 2017 Larson C iceberg is 5,800 square kilometers and weighs a “trillion tons”.
Here are many facts left-wing biased CNN didn't think you needed to know:
A March 2000 Iceberg B15 was 11,000 km2
A May 2000 Iceberg A43 was 9,250 km2.
A October 1998 Iceberg A38 as 7,600 km2
Swithinbank (1969),
based on ESSA-3 satellite images, reports that two giant icebergs were seen in the eastern part of the Weddell Sea. Back in 1967, two icebergs calved , measuring 7,000 km2 and 5,000 km2.
Encyclopedia Britannica has a map and path of Trolltunga, an iceberg near the Antarctic coast for years, before it headed into the Atlantic Ocean, where it took a year to melt.
When it comes to record iceberg sizes, the satellite records are short. so the only correct answer is “who knows?”.
If a huge iceberg had broken off Antarctica in 1817 or 1917, no one would have knows then ... or today.
Wesche 2013
In Table 3 of Wesche, there are ten potential calving fronts greater than 200km wide spread over four sectors of Antarctica.
It’s just a matter of time before another big iceberg breaks off Antarctica.
And when it does, I'm sure CNN will be scaremongering once again.
Ice has been melting for the past 20,000 years.
The oceans have already risen 400 feet.
399.5 feet of the 400 foot sea level rise happened BEFORE humans started adding CO2 to the air.
20,000 years ago at peak glaciation, the average temperature suddenly started getting warmer.
And ice began melting 20,000 years ago.
The ice melting 20,000 years ago was not caused by SUVs burning gasoline, and electric power plants burning coal.
Or 15,000 years ago
Or 1,500 years ago
Or 150 years ago.
And now you know something about glaciers and icebergs, that CNN would prefer you not to know:
The latest 2017 Larson C iceberg (5,800 km2), is just another large iceberg, nothing to worry about, and far smaller than the March 2000 Iceberg B15 that was 11,000 km2.

Consider an even bigger one from 1956
This monster iceberg was allegedly 334km x 96km or 32,000 km2. A March 2000 Iceberg B15 was 11,000 km2
This giant iceberg—the largest observed from satellite (dimensions of 295 km × 37 km
The B15 calved from the Ross Ice Shelf.
