Marty’s photo of the day #2332: When I speak at colleges, this is one of the photos I use when discussing global warming.

Scientists have named the iceberg A68, but since global warming is melting Antarctica at an alarming rate, I suggest that we start naming giant icebergs after those who have contributed the […]
