The collapse of the Larsen A and B ice shelves in 1995 and 2002 removed a buttress that slowed and stabilized glaciers flowing off the peninsula’s coastline. With that backstop removed, the glaciers have accelerated to as much as nine times their original speed—vastly increasing the rate at which they dump ice into the ocean and fuel sea level rise.
Continued climate warming is expected to increase frequency and strength of föhn winds on the peninsula, says Pettit.

Re: Science news of the day thread.
My maths professor got distracted by this last night, and spent the last half of his lecture talking about how amazing it is. He desperately tried to make references to maths while doing it. But it was obvious that he just wanted to talk about the cool rockets. 
“The Turkey Trot, Grizzly Bear and Other Naughty Diversions”
“Starting as if in the good old-fashioned Two-Step, the dancers suddenly let go hands, the man slipping behind his fair companion, there is a little step and a hop, something like a turkey might be expected to do, then a fresh grip around the waist of the young lady, the man snuggles up ever so closely behind her and they hop, skip and jump and half run along.”

Re: Science news of the day thread.
I know sending a car into space is kinda like fly-tipping, but it's still cool. The coolest part was the booster rockets landing simultaneously and upright right on the X. That's the power of Maths man - you can't argue with that!!

Re: Science news of the day thread.
Chinese internet users have defended Albert Einstein’s recently published travel diaries in which the physicist calls the Chinese “industrious, filthy people.”
Portions of the diaries from his travels in Asia in the 1920s were posted online this week and their content surprised Einstein fans.
“Chinese don’t sit on benches while eating but squat like Europeans do when they relieve themselves out in the leafy woods,” he wrote.
“All this occurs quietly and demurely. Even the children are spiritless and look obtuse.”...'

My mother used to wield her umbrella in crowds in Hong Kong to get the 'nig nogs' to move out of the way. They were all 'lazy' and 'feckless'...she's 92 next month. Things change.
