ScienceDaily (July 10, 2008) — The Wilkins Ice Shelf is experiencing further disintegration that is threatening the collapse of the ice bridge connecting the shelf to Charcot Island.
This image acquired by Envisat’s Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) on 9 July 2008, shows the current state of the break-up event which began on 28 June on the east (right) rather than the on west (left) like the previous event that occurred last month. By 8 July, a fracture that could open the ice bridge was visible. (Credit: ESA)
I think the images speaks for themselves.

And the trailer for film - An Inconvenient Truth 《不願面對的真相》
