Where’s the Jack Daniels Old No. 7 and a glass? LOL
Washington, D.C. is 61.05 square miles (158.1 km2) (land area), so double that would be 122.1 square miles.
So other city comparisons would be Lubbock, TX (122.4 sq mi), Fernley, NV (122.1 sq mi), and Marana, AZ (121.5 sq mi)
Antarctic sea ice varies from about 1.55 MILLION square miles, to 10.6 MILLION square miles.
Now if D.C. would just break off and float away we’d be in good shape.
BREAKING NEWS... Ice melts in the summer (freezes in the winter).
What happened to Larsen Ice Shelves A and B and how big were they? Did we survive their collapse?
Indeed when antarctica ice stops breaks-off it’s called an ice age.
i thought when ice melts, it shrinks... not cracks and breaks... that happens when glaciers grow and move...
doomers.
