Antarctica and global warming  

An icy thread measuring a mere 12 miles (20 kilometers) long is all that's anchoring a massive iceberg the size of Delaware to its home in West Antarctica, climate scientists report.

If the iceberg breaks away — an event known as calving — the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica will lose more than 10 percent of its area, which amounts to about 2,000 square miles (5,000 square km), according to Project MIDAS, an Antarctic research project based in the United Kingdom.

This is normal, earth is in a transitional phase right now and slowly in the process of magnetic pole reversal but, it will happen slowly. This means changes in currents of oceans which changes weather patterns. If ice melts in one place then will freeze eventually in another place which will cause major changes in weather in the future but, that is how it works.
