CBC reports that researchers from Trent and Laval universities have recorded the break up of hundreds of square kilometres of Arctic ice shelves – some as old as 4,500ย years

โ€œThese changes are irreversible under the present climate and indicate that the environmental conditions that have kept these ice shelves in balance for thousands of years are no longer present,โ€ said Trent University professor Derekย Mueller.

Hat tip to Peter M for the spot.
