Talk:Ward Hunt Ice Shelf

breakup cause
The article says both:
 * The Ward Hunt ice sheet began breaking up approximately 100 years ago

and
 * The breakup of the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf is tied to steady and dramatic increases in the average temperature of the region over the past decades, correlated with global warming.

which seem, if not contradictory, at least confusing in close proximity. Are there two separate processes at work, one which caused the initial breakup 100 years ago, and the other which accelerated it more recently? --Delirium (talk) 09:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
