August 7, 2010 - An ice sheet covering 100 square miles has broken off Greenland. This giant ice island is in excess of 4 times the size of New York's Manhattan Island and comes following the warmest 6 months on record. Today, Chairman Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, released the following statement:
"An iceberg 4 times the size of Manhattan has broken off Greenland, creating plenty of room for global warming deniers to start their own country.
"So far, 2010 has been the hottest year on record, and scientists agree arctic ice is a canary in a coal mine that provides clear warnings on climate.
"Last summer, the House passed landmark legislation to create clean energy jobs that cut carbon pollution. However, it's still unclear how many giant blocks of ice it will take to break the block of Republican climate deniers in the US Senate who continue hold this critical clean energy and climate legislation hostage."
