AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State

I received this from our friend Elwood.


Ever see an iceberg from top to bottom?
This is awesome!
This came from a Rig Manager
For Global Marine Drilling
In St. Johns, Newfoundland .....
They actually have to divert the path
Of these things away from the oil rig
By towing them with ships!
Anyway, in this particular case
The water was calm and
The sun was almost directly overhead
So that the diver was able to get into the water
And click this picture.
They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons.




Pretty Cool, eh.
THE TITANIC DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE!!!!

Gives a whole new meaning to the Phrase
"Just the tip of the Iceberg"

90 Percent of the iceberg is underwater, just like the ice cube in your drink, but a little bigger.

So when it melts it should actually displace less water and lower rather than raise the water level

No, just like in your drink, it's melting has no affect. Try it for yourself. Fill your glass with ice cubes, then fill it to the rim with water, set it on the counter, come back in a couple of hours, you'll find the water level the same or maybe slightly less as ice cubes have O2 in them. Pure, crystal clear ice would leave you with the exact same H20 level. It's a hoax. Miami is sinking. Miami is built from the dregs of all of the canals. Miami is ERODING. New Orleans is sinking. New Orleans is built below sea level, the delta is actually growing from the build up from the Mississippi river. I live I the Chesapeake Bay area, have been here since 1958, the water level hasn't gone up 0" in that time yet Norfolk Va is screaming climate change because every time there is huge downpour they flood. The area was built below sea level. Heavy rainfall can't drain quick enough. Climate is a natural wonder. We couldn't change it if we wanted to. We could and can change whether we'll be here to see when she decides to go a different direction. We are such piss-ants in this decision. Mike

woodchuck
