Denialists, Prepare to Deny!

When the Larsen B shelf collapsed in 2002, melting a block of ice the size of Rhode Island, global warming denialists said that a 12,000 year-old stable feature was just due to collapse anyway.  Nothing to see here.

Now, the Wilkins shelf is about to calve a block about the size of Connecticut.  Want to bet how the denialists will react? Liberal media conspiracy, anyone? Maybe a nice ad hominem attack on Al Gore? Pick your logical fallacy, and handicap the race for yourself!

If you ever have some time in San Antonio, be sure to check out the Botanical Gardens. Very spiffy, and not all covered in knick knacks like the Riverwalk. Oh, and the Mercado has free Wifi! Gotta have priorities.
