Sometime between July 10 and 12, a massive iceberg the size of the US state of Delaware broke free from Antarctica’s Larn C Ice Shelf(冰架). The crack that led to the paration was visible in the first images of the ice shelf captured by NASA satellites in 1963. However, the crack remained dormant for decades, before suddenly spreading northwards and widening by 18 miles between 2011 and 2015 and then an additional 13 miles in 2016.
Iceberg paration is a natural part of a glacier’s life cycle and a result of global warming. However, the paration of A-68 is receiving a lot of attention due to its size. Measuring 5,800 square kilometers (2,240 square miles), the 620-feet thick chunk of ice has reduced the Larn C Ice Shelf area by more than 12% and permanently altered the topography(地形) of the Antarctic Peninsula.
"The interesting thing is what happens next — how the remaining ice shelf responds," said Kelly Brunt, who has studied the effects of a warming climate on the Larn C Ice Shelf since 2015. "Will the ice shelf weaken? Or will it collap(倒塌), like its neighbors Larn A and B? Will the glaciers behind the ice shelf speed up and have a direct contribution to a level ri? Or is this just a normal event?"
Ice shelves, which border 75% of the Antarctic Peninsula, are formed from snow that became ice thousands of years ago. They are found where glaciers meet the ocean and the weather is cold enough to keep the ice frozen. The icy structures are of great help in controlling rising a level by forming a natural barrier against the water melting from glaciers.
The Larn Ice Shelf once consisted of four parts: Larn A (smallest), Larn B, Larn C (largest) and Larn D. While scientists will continue to monitor A-68 and its parent, many believe it’ll take veral years before Larn C collaps further. "The remaining 90% of the ice shelf continues to be held in place by two points," said Chris Shuman, a glaciologist. "So I just don’t e any signs that this event will lead to the collap of the Larn C Ice Shelf. But we will be watching cloly for signs of further changes."

All too often , a choice that ems sustainable(可持续的)turns out on clor examination to be problematic. Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol(乙醇)for fuel from corn. Corn is a renewable resource — you can harvest it and grow more, almost limitlessly. So replacing gas with corn ethanol ems like a great idea.
One might get a bit more energy out of the ethanol than that ud to make it, which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally, but that’s not the end of the probl
轻车熟路是什么意思em. Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people, which drives up the cost of food. That result leads to turning the fallow(空闲的)land — including, in some cas, rain forest in places such as Brazil — into farmland, which in turn gives off lots of carbon dioxide(CO2)into the air. Finally, over many years, the energy benefit from burning ethanol would make up for the forest loss. But by then, climate change would have progresd(发展)so far that it might not help.
You cannot really declare any practice “sustainable” until you have done a complete life-cycle analysis(分析)of its environmental costs. Even then, technology and public policy keep developing, and that development can lead to unforeen and undesired results. The admirable goal of living sustainably requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.

A.The growing demand for energy to make ethanol.

Humans have uniquely expressive faces. We laugh, we cry, we turn red with feelings. Now, scientists report that blue-and-yellow macaws(金刚鹦鹉) may join us in this club of emotions―at least,when it comes to blushing(脸红).
