Scientists will ALWAYS say this about single events. It's impossible to tie a single event to a long term process like climate change. Although I'm not surprised to see this kind of defense from the party that brought a snowball into Congress as proof that climate change isn't occurring.
- nonbel 9y agoThis seems to be a talking point that people are mindlessly repeating that is wrong in multiple ways. I won't bother with all, but here is the exact same person making a link to a single event regarding the exact same ice shelf: >"And while climate change is accepted to have played a role in the wholesale disintegration of the Larsen A and Larsen B ice shelves, Luckman emphasised that there is no evidence that the calving of the giant iceberg is linked to such processes." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/12/giant-antarctic-iceberg-breaks-free-of-larsen-c-ice-shelf https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/12/giant-antarcti... This story is somewhat interesting on its own, but it is clear the media and ignorant people on the internet have blown it up into fake news.
- Oletros 9y agoThe whole disintegration of Larsen A and B are not a single event like the calving of an iceberg
- nonbel 9y agoThe calving of the iceberg was not a single event either. First the rift formed, then it started branching, etc. Anyway, this event is bringing out the worst arguments I have ever seen.
