How long before Global Warming is mentioned ?
« on: August 09, 2007, 02:12:52 PM »
At least 18 people have been injured - two seriously - after a sightseeing vessel, carrying mainly British passengers, was hit on the side by broken ice in the Arctic.

Sorry to piss on the chips but...

Glaciologist Dr Richard Hodgkins - who has studied the Svalbard glacier - said the area was a sensitive location and an early indicator of climatic changes.

So, not long then, in fact pretty instantaneous, rather like a chunk of ice falling on the deck when you're a few feet from an iceberg  ;)

Steward: "Would sir like ice with that?"   ...... C-R-A-S-H

Passenger: "Ferrrrrrrkin' 'ell! ... that was quick"
