Largest Remaining Ice Shelf in Arctic Breaking Up

Readers of The Globe and Mail's climate change-related articles will know the website is infested with climate change deniers in the comments section. What I would like to know is how they explain something like this. I'll make some guesses just for humor's sake, and because I find it too heartbreaking and frustrating to even wade into the comments there.

• The reason the ice assessors can't find the poles measuring ice thickness is because some eco-saboteurs a la Michael Crichton's imagination came and stole them to back up their climate change hypothesis.
• The climate has always had warming periods and those kilometers long, meters wide cracks will close up any time now.
• It doesn't matter anyway, it's too expensive to do anything about climate change, and besides, Canada could use some warmer weather.
