Boaters Panic as Giant Iceberg Collapses, Induces Massive Wave

Yep, no global warming ...



In the icy waters of the Bay of Exploits in northern Newfoundland, a Canadian couple on a boat ride on July 24, 2014, were put in a dangerous situation as one of the region's massive icebergs suddenly crumbled.
As large chunks of the iceberg collapsed into the water, an enormous wave rippled from the site and moved out into the open water.
Only miles from the boat and in a panic, the couple sped up in an attempt to avoid the colossal waves.

Yes…. I imagine persons seeing the rise in sea level invade their residences in "bowl" areas of the U.S. will voice the same sense of urgency with that declarative statement. Running for your lives is not just fashion for NOLA.

Thanks to the Mayor and Governor. Meanwhile, locals are selling their beachfront properties to rube foreign investors. Once the market is saturated, they will feel the heat.
