The Larsen C Rift is Racing to Its Conclusion, by Brian Kahn, June 28th, 2017,

A rift has torn the Larsen C ice shelf asunder and now the outside edge of the ice is moving at an unprecedented pace. When it breaks off, it will become one of the largest icebergs ever recorded.

The crack is just eight miles away from breaking off what will likely be the second-biggest iceberg observed. The massive hunk of ice has already started to wiggle like a loose tooth. That includes ice near where the crack began, which is moving at an unprecedented speed of 33 feet per day. In the world of glacial-paced ice, that’s the equivalent of an all-out sprint…

The latest change brings the break-off date that much closer to happening, though researchers cautioned it could still be weeks before the crack breaks through completely. When it does, though, it will drastically alter one of the largest ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula. Scientists estimate that 10 percent of the ice shelf will break off, an area roughly as large as Delaware. That will change how the remaining ice shelf behaves, though it will take years of monitoring to see how those changes play out.

Everybody knows the climate change scam was invented to steal the wealth of the people and implement population control.

You mean climate change and its knock-on effects (like crop failure, increased heat waves, sea rise, disease spread, intense hurricanes and storms, drought, floods) will steal the wealth of the people and decimate the population. Right?

Wrong.

Climate change is an excuse for carbon tax and population control.

If people are the cause of global warming than eliminating them is the cure.

In the meantime tax them for using fire to cook their food or for using cars to go to work.

I and our 3 past popes just happen to be right, and those who reject mitigating CC are the ones who are wrong.

As for money issues (which is really what people are concerned about), we have saved $1000s over the past 27 years that we have been mitigating CC, without lowering our living standard.

Nice.

You assume I am rejecting mitigating CC which is not the case.

What I am rejecting is mitigating CC via methods that do not work in the first place. Throttling productivity in Europe and the US while letting China and India get away with increasing pollution levels is not really mitigating CC now is it?

I also find it hypocritical that people who are the biggest proponent for CC mitigation jet around the world and own big houses.

I guess only the little people pay carbon taxes.
