Larsen B Ice shelf collapse link to warming

Scientists say the collapse of a huge ice shelf in Antarctica in 2002 has no precedent in the past 11,000 years. Their finding, in a study to be published this week, points the finger at global warming. Measuring some 3,250 square kilometres in area and 220 metres thick, the Larsen B iceshelf broke away from the eastern Antarctic Peninsula in 2002, eventually disintegrating into giant icebergs.
