Markey to Deniers: Go Live on the Greenland Iceberg

by MeMeMeMeMe

Saw this and thought it was too good not to pass along:

The Hill reports that on Saturday, Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA), who has been leading the legislative effort to confront climate change, used the occasion to chastise his obstructionist colleagues:

   "An iceberg four times the size of Manhattan has broken off Greenland, creating plenty of room for global warming deniers to start their own country," Markey said in a statement.

Great idea. The population density of New York City is 26,403 people per square mile, so if the iceberg is approximately 100 square miles, that means over 26 million people can comfortably fit on it! Maybe not enough to accommodate every global warming denier, but as the old lawyer joke goes, "it's a good start".
