"Almost in a case of the history of human hubris repeating itself, albeit on a much grander scale, the glacier at Ilulissat, which supposedly spawned the iceberg that sank the Titanic, is now flowing three times faster into the sea than it did a decade ago."

"We have seen a massive acceleration of the speed with which these glaciers are moving into the sea," Robert Corell, chairman of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment, said in Ilulissat yesterday. "The ice is moving at 2 meters an hour on a front 5km [3 miles] long and 1,500 meters deep. That means that this one glacier puts enough fresh water into the sea in one year to provide drinking water for a city the size of London for a year."

I believe it's time we tap the glaciers for fresh water!
