I do agree thatit might be happening a bit faster than might be normal, but at the same time, the Planet's been warming up for a LONG time now, so maybe we're the ones who need to chill.

Assuming even bigger icebergs could get trapped in the current going up and past Australia, how large would it have to be for it to survive the warm Mozambique current? 788 square km’s is pretty damn big…

If according to him originated in the Antartic circle, there is no way that it could reach South African shores without being melted. Infact according to my Geographic understanding of climatology, warm Mozambique current would have melted that iceberg. I think there was a foreign substance spoted and perhaps fear made them conclude that it is an iceberg, hence even NSRI fails to give a clear guidance on this possibilty.
