Lake Disappears into Andes

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the here-today-gone-tomorrow dept.

steveb3210 writes "It seems that what was once a 5-acre glacial lake in the Andes has mysteriously disappeared. 'In March we patrolled the area and everything was normal,' Juan Jose Romero from Chile's National Forestry Corporation, Conaf, said. 'We went again in May and to our surprise we found that the lake had completely disappeared. All that was left were chunks of ice and an enormous fissure.'" The current theory is that an earthquake opened the ground and allowed the lake to drain. Looks like global warming is off the hook this time around.

    Bull fucking shit. It's just more evidence of George Bush's Global Fucking Warming in action. Get a clue.

    Whenever something goes wrong we have to find a way to blame it on Global Warming. Research grants must continue flowing!

    And when good stuff happens we just ignore it, hope people don't notice until the next bad stuff happens.
