Ice Shelf Collapses in Antarctica

This must be the month for collapses: first, it was Bear Stearns, the cowboy capitalist investment house in New York. Then it was the Chinook Salmon fishery in the Sacramento River watershed. And, now it is a piece of the Antarctic ice shelf about the size of Connecticut.

I'm not big on the "end times" phenomenon, nor the self-centered concerns that our generation will be the one to see the collapse of human civilization. Nearly every society has had its share of wackos who projected their own passing onto the whole of the planet.
