Claims on the Antarctic Ice Breakup Suffer from Limited History

Before and after satellite images of the Glenzer-Conger Ice Shelf from EU/Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite.
The media was full of disaster headlines this week over an observed breakup of a minor and little-known Antarctic ice shelf. Yahoo News and the New York Times, among others, lamented the “unprecedented” event. The problem is, we don’t really have any knowledge of previous events, making the present day claims false by omission.
David Knowles, the lead climate worrier for Yahoo News wrote in Antarctic ice shelf the size of New York City collapses:
For the first time in human history, an ice shelf in East Antarctica has collapsed, scientists said Friday, as climate change shows no signs of slowing.
The collapse of the 463-square-mile Glenzer Conger ice shelf, which occurred last week, came as temperatures rose in the eastern section of Antarctica by as much as 70 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. That was enough in some places for rain, rather than snow, to fall, the Associated Press reported.
NASA satellites first detected the collapse of the ice shelf.
