nstoolman1 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Ca and Az are in a desert. It gets HOT, D*mn hot. It has been that way for a long time. Every year it gets hot. Every year the Sun shines down on the two states and it gets hot. Did I mention It gets hot. Even "if" the Earth killing asteroid is coming, WTF am I going to do about it. H*ll, I hope I am right there to catch it when it hits. I felt the same way when SAC bases were on alert. If there ever was a Nuke attack I was going to take my family and sit at the end of the runway (MAFB) and be there when the nukes fell. No way would I want to be around for radiation sickness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indraman Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 If true, 3600 square miles is equivalent to 60x60 miles...that is one big iceberg. They will be tracking this one in the sea for quite some time. Indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know, I tend to lend more credence to some of the extreme weather we've been seeing to solar activity (most likely scenario), but also the possibility of the 10th planet binary solar system theory (least likely, but none the less, a possibility). If the events we are seeing escalate at a very rapid rate (months to at most a couple years) then the likelihood of the 10th planet binary solar system would be the most likely explanation. Only time will tell. Indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nstoolman1 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I should go claim it as a floating island and I will have my own country for after the RV. How long would it take to melt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long would it take to melt? I would guess that it depends where and how far north the ocean currents take this new mass. If this thing parks off the coast of Dubai in the Arabian Sea, not very long. Indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nstoolman1 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I could attach a motor or sails to keep it north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't going to get involved here until I saw your post. Ain't that the truth. And by the way B/A when one considers what the Ice Shelf truly is and the incomprehensible sheer size of it a 60 by 60 mile piece is rather small in comparison.

It will be totally out of our control so, Agreed on my knees praying for a quick painless end to me and mine. p.s. I will fight like hell to prevent that from happening though!
