Antarctica looks poised to lose part of one of its ice shelves. That ice is floating on the ocean so if it does break off, it will not raise the sea level. But the chunk of ice that appears likely to break off is roughly the size of the US state of Delaware.

The situation, however, does attest to some degree of climate change.
