Burning Man is supposed to arrive and disappear like the desert breeze.
Near the end of every summer, attendees of the multiday mega-festival venture to the Nevada wilderness. Their motto: “Leave no trace.”
This year, thousands got stuck in the mud instead after about a half an inch of rain hit what is normally the driest state in the nation. Instead of leaving no trace, many self-described “burners” abandoned bicycles and vehicles on the drenched, muddy Black Rock Desert.
Once an underground carnival for free spirits, Burning Man today is famous as a party spot for Hollywood stars, Silicon Valley tech bros and other jet-set elites. The latest event offers a glimpse at how extreme weather can — and more frequently will — dramatically transform the environment in a moment’s notice.
“It’s a teachable moment, as far as climate disasters and extreme weather” go, said Anya Kamenetz, a Burning Man attendee forced to flee the festival. “This is very much just a trial run under really, really easy conditions for what a lot of people go through.”

They’re just using changes in weather as an excuse to impose communism on us.
The morons have no idea there’s a thing called weather ,LOL
Could not have happened to a finer bunch of folks.
The Burning Man disaster is ‘a teachable moment’ about signs from Heaven.
You knew they would go there....
Hot—climate change
Cold—climate change
Snow—climate change
Rain—climate change
Mud—climate change
Climate change ate their kid’s homework....
If climate change made these pagan a-holes miserable, I say more climate change please.
It’s called the Desert Monsoon..it happens every year at this tie.
If it’s hot and no rain - global warming. If it pours rain - climate change. Send more tax dollars so the genius bureaucrats can pretend to be God.
These idiots have been so successful in life SO FAR that they think they can control everything.
It’s monsoon season in an El Niño year. Plus the volcanic action undersea is putting millions of tons of WATER VAPOR into the air. Sheesh.
So they got stuck in mud. Sounds like an inconvenience to me.
What’s teachable is young folk with nothing to do looking for fun. Think spring break/drugs. They’re missing something and need to act out for the sake of acting out.
The disaster would be if they ran out of drugs.

Another thread says there are rumors of Ebola. OKAY, lets just sterilize the entire area with NAPALM.
That way all the freaks and any virus that may be there are gone FOR GOOD!!!
Wondering if the rain for Burning Man was a harbinger?
As if it never rains there. We have dry lake beds here in SoCal and they fill up with water from time to time.
What does playa mean at Burning Man?
The Spanish word for “beach” and also the term designated to the remains of a dried lakebed which is what Black Rock City sits upon, hence becoming an endearing nickname.
It was a lake bed at one time. Maybe it’s going to be a lake again. Duh.
