Mount Ranier would be a devastating eruption. Not from the eruption and ash but glacier melt. This will flood most of the rivers. Nuclear Power Plants will be at risk. Fukishima should teach us something.

Unless a solar wind or solar flare changes its trajectory it won't hit. The asteroid is actually passing over the top of earth. JPL's model is linear. We live in 3D. Anything that crosses the lunar orbit can be a concern. It will come closer to the moon than earth. Even if it hits the moon it's n...

@sindee37 v =mass x acceleration........

@danktrain420 You are right on the money! The trajectory is closer to the moon than earth. This thing is about the size of an aircraft carrier. It is not an extinction event if it hits earth. The moon is like swiss cheese. It's been hit before and will get hit again. If it hits the moon it might ...

@Tryn2bkind You are right. Hoagland does cry wolf a lot. He does present a fairly good case on this one though. I watched the animation on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the trajectory of this aircraft carrier sized asteroid is tracking closer to the moon than the earth. The trajectory can be ...

@jwhat01 Also look at the debt to GDP ratio. It is almost 1/1. This has never happened before and come August the debt limit will be raised again. So the debt is going to continue to get higher as a slow burn takes place on the dollar. The dollar will be debased. Maybe not tomorrow but within nex...
