Giant Iceberg Headed for Canada

[Bar Sinister]

A massive berg some 250 square kilometers in area has broken off Greenland and is headed for Canadian shipping lanes. What makes it really dangerous is that it is expected to break up into many smaller bergs, each one still large enough to sink a ship or damage an oil platform

Canada-bound icy behemoth threatens shipping lanes, oil platforms

Maybe some of those new jet fighters we are supposed to be getting can bomb the crap out of it.

Well, we are hearing a lot about a chronic water shortage...........................I suppose it would be a little awkward to hook onto it and drag it up onto dry land somewhere. :lol:

Must have been caused by global cooling.

You think global cooling melts ice? :smile:

You Watch! It will crash into the Eastern Seaboard of Canada, causing a huge rupture in our seal, and the Country will go down! WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST!!

This is a great place to come and talk about 3 month old news.

Surely someone somewhere could put a floating island to good use. It will be around for a few years. :smile:

It's 3 month old news that a chunk of glacier broke off last week? Explain please, because something doesn't make sense there.

Cool, well there's the ice, I have a bag of limes and a bar blender, who's got the tequila and an ice pick?

Greenland Iceberg Breakup and Retreats – Planetsave 3 months....6 weeks...1 week.

One of Greenland’s largest glaciers has suffered an abrupt breakup and retreat, losing a chunk approximately one-eighth the size of Manhattan Island.

This is an extended article following up on a previous summary provided on Planetsave.

Previous...like 3 months ago previous?

Yep, you could put your easy chair up on top and have yourself a hell of a time for years.

I do!!

The water in this iceberg could be thousands of years old. If you drink it it may release some Jurassic type microbes or something into your body and you might transform into a giant lizard or a pile of dinosaur dung. Mixed with tequila, though, might kill the microbes off.
Ah, what the hell, I have an ice pick.

 

[CDNBear]

Sweet, lets make something good out of this situation than.

I'll be the big guy wearing the Bear suit in the La-Z-Boy.

Don't forget the salt.

Cool, so what's the hold up. I'm getting ancy.

I'm three days away from you and 6 from the east coast. Some logistics involved here.

Not the same article at all other than being about glaciers in Greenland (and not even the same glaciers btw)
