As the Northern Hemisphere swelters under a record-breaking summer heat wave, much further south, in the depths of winter, another terrifying climate record is being broken. Antarctic sea ice has fallen to unprecedented lows for this time of year.
Argentina-size must be the stupidest measure ever invented. No one even known how really huge Argentina is because the visual map everyone has on their mind is the Mercator projection. Americans would use anything before metric.

I seem to remember that the asteroid broke up over Russia and was captured on film a while ago was the size of half a giraffe. Or 0.000001 Texas, Texas’s, Texai?
Why is the headline written like that?
“Scientists are scrambling to figure out why”, we know why it’s missing, it’s not a mystery.
Is that the ice chunk that they took to combat climate change in the Simpsons?

I wonder if that’s the same piece as the Western Australia-sized piece reported missing here in Oz :)
