I dunno, I think she rune-d everything

Heh, yeah, that must have been the reason, those damned vikings.

Recent rainfall snowfall is now FILLING all reservoirs along the Colorado river.

There. Fixed it for you.

The pathetic green weenies need to re-read Korzybski: "The map is not the territory."

The Aral Sea has shrunk to a mere vestige of its former self due to large scale Soviet irrigation and engineering projects. The Aral was dead thirty years ago. "Climate change" had nothing to do with it.

Dittoes the Colorado river, totally oversubscribed, to the extent it has reduced flow.

The Dead Sea, I dunno why it's shrinking. But this illustrates the intellectual bankruptcy of the media, British as well as Amurkin. You just cannot trust any reporter, on anything, any more.

You just cannot trust any reporter, on anything, any more.

Especially, anything involving a scientific approach.

To journalists today, science is merely an extension of politics. They know nothing of scientific measurement or observation, principles or theories. You could give them a calculator...and they still couldn't tell you how many ounces a gallon, e.g.

And why should they? They were schooled in the public education system.

To journalists today, science is merely an extension of politics.

Unfortunately true for many scientists as well.
