Antarctic ice shelf 'hanging by thread': European scientists

Thu Jul 10

PARIS (AFP) - New evidence has emerged that a large plate of floating ice shelf attached to Antarctica is breaking up, in a troubling sign of global warming, the European Space Agency (ESA) said on Thursday.

Images taken by its Envisat remote-sensing satellite show that Wilkins Ice Shelf is "hanging by its last thread" to Charcot Island, one of the plate's key anchors to the Antarctic peninsula, ESA said in a press release.

"Since the connection to the island... helps stabilise the ice shelf, it is likely the breakup of the bridge will put the remainder of the ice shelf at risk," it said.

Wilkins Ice Shelf had been stable for most of the last century, covering around 16,000 square kilometres (6,000 square miles), or about the size of Northern Ireland, before it began to retreat in the 1990s.

Since then several large areas have broken away, and two big breakoffs this year left only a narrow ice bridge about 2.7 kilometres (1.7 miles) wide to connect the shelf to Charcot and nearby Latady Island.

The latest images, taken by Envisat's radar, say fractures have now opened up in this bridge and adjacent areas of the plate are disintegrating, creating large icebergs.

Scientists are puzzled and concerned by the event, ESA added.

The Antarctic peninsula -- the tongue of land that juts northward from the white continent towards South America -- has had one of the highest rates of warming anywhere in the world in recent decades.

But this latest stage of the breakup occurred during the Southern Hemisphere's winter, when atmospheric temperatures are at their lowest.

One idea is that warmer water from the Southern Ocean is reaching the underside of the ice shelf and thinning it rapidly from underneath.

"Wilkins Ice Shelf is the most recent in a long, and growing, list of ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula that are responding to the rapid warming that has occurred in this area over the last fifty years," researcher David Vaughan of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) said.

"Current events are showing that we were being too conservative, when we made the prediction in the early 1990s that Wilkins Ice Shelf would be lost within 30 years. The truth is, it is going more quickly than we guessed."

In the past three decades, six Antarctic ice shelves have collapsed completely -- Prince Gustav Channel, Larsen Inlet, Larsen A, Larsen B, Wordie, Muller and the Jones Ice Shelf.

Priest disguises himself as a tramp to teach his own churchgoers a lesson

By Niall Firth
Last updated at 1:20 PM on 10th July 2008

When Reverend Rigby wanted to teach his congregation a lesson about being kind to others he came up with a rather colourful way of demonstrating his point.

As the 70 churchgoers turned up for their regular Sunday morning service at the Methodist church in Prestatyn, north Wales they found a scruffy tramp sitting in the church porch.

Stinking of beer and dressed in filthy clothes, the disgusted churchgoers did their best to ignore him as they filed past.

This task was made even harder when the unwanted guest joined them on the pews, surrounded with syringes and drinking from a can of lager.


Rev Derek Rigby dressed as a tramp, left, to teach his congregation a lesson before revealing his true identity, right


They were therefore astounded - and perhaps more than a little embarrassed - when the ‘tramp’ threw off his scruffy clothes, removed his wig and revealed himself as their minister, Rev Rigby.

Rev Rigby pulled the stunt to remind the congregation about a passage in the Bible when Jesus’ disciples failing to recognise him because of the way he was dressed.

Rev Rigby said: ‘I went to great lengths to be as convincing as possible.

‘I didn’t shave for three days, made my hands and face dirty and drew on tattoos.

I’ bought some scruffy clothes at a charity shop, ripped the trousers, and put on a straggly wig and thick, broken glasses.

‘I then splashed lager over my clothes so I was stinking. I looked in the mirror before the service and I didn't recognise myself.’

Rev Rigby, who was a police officer for 15 years before being ordained 20 years ago, has tricked congregations in the same way at his previous parishes in London and Newport, South Wales.

He said: ‘I didn’t say a word the whole time because I thought someone would recognise my voice.

‘It was interesting to see the reaction from people - I was totally ignored.

‘It showed that we don’t recognise God at work and in each other.’

He said: "In other places I was given as much as £4.50, a packet of biscuits and a blanket - but in Prestatyn I got nothing.

‘I told the congregation they are a stingy lot.

‘Everyone was amazed and later complimented me on my acting skill, though some said I had made them feel terrible.’

Senior church member John Sproston was one of the first to arrive at the service to see the ‘tramp’ on the doorstep.

He said: ‘I think everyone was a bit worried, but when he came into church I thought “Hallelujah”.

‘We were all aghast when he took off his wig because he was very convincing.’
