An ice shelf the size of NYC has collapsed in East Antarctica

[Street Hunger]

MSN.com: "A massive Antarctic ice shelf that covered an area about the size of New York City or Rome just collapsed into the ocean. Scientists warn that while they do not expect significant impacts as a result of this event, melting ice in this historically stable region may be a foreboding sign of things to come. Satellite photos reveal the sudden disappearance of the Conger Ice Shelf on East Antarctica between March 14 and March 16. "The Glenzer Conger Ice Shelf presumably had been there for thousands of years and it's not ever going to be there again," University of Minnesota glaciologist Peter Neff told NPR."

I'll consider worrying about climate change when douchebag psychopath billionaires like Bill Gates stop buying ocean front property

Imagine owning several massive estates (including what is arguably the most valuable home in the US), and then spending $43 million on an immaculate ocean front mansion, only to tear it down and spend tens of millions more to build a new mansion in the same spot.

Now imagine owning several massive estates and tearing down a perfectly good oceanfront mansion only to rebuild it, all while flying around the world on a private jet every other day (on average Gates flies ~150 private flights a year) and lecturing people about how they have to eat your patented artificial meat in order to prevent climate change.
