In Protest Over Fake Global Warming Scares, World's Glaciers Decide To Melt

Chacaltaya, a frozen storehouse of such water, will be gone in seven to
eight years, said Ramirez, a Bolivian glaciologist, or ice specialist.

"Some small glaciers like this have already disappeared," he said as melting
icicles dripped on nearby rock, exposed for the first time in millennia. "In
the next 10 years, many more will."

They'll disappear far beyond Bolivia. From Alaska in the north, to Montana's
Glacier National Park, to the great ice fields of wild Patagonia at this
continent's southern tip, the "rivers of ice" that have marked landscapes
from prehistory are liquefying, shrinking, retreating.

In east Africa, the storied snows of Mount Kilimanjaro are vanishing. In the
icebound Alps and Himalayas of Europe and Asia, the change has been
stunning. From South America to south Asia, new glacial lakes threaten to
overflow and drown villages below.

"Ample" evidence indicates that global warming is causing glaciers to
retreat worldwide, reports the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a
U.N.-sponsored network of climate scientists led by Pachauri.

The Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement, mandates cutbacks in such
emissions, but the reductions are small and the United States, the biggest
emitter, is not a party, arguing that the mandates will set back the U.S.
economy.

"It's the Economy, stupid......."

Again, keep in mind that as long as THE ECONOMY is kept perfectly intact (as
if) that everything else that lives, breathes, or just sits there is
expendable, including you.

I can just see aliens landing here 100 years from now.

"Wow, where are all the people, animals, and plants...?"

"I dunno, but, hey, look, The Economy is working perfectly...!!"

- After a heated debate and recount of the votes in Iraq that has taken
months, the clear winner as the new President of Iraq has emerged as Dick
Cheney.  Cheney in his acceptance speech noted that he already controlled
the greatest country in the world, but it was nice to wear Iraq on his pinky
to show off at galas.  He was heard to remark "Dead bodies..?  What dead
bodies..?  Look, Freedom is at hand, the Economy is beginning to boom again,
we're going to turn their water and electricity back on soon so they will
never forget the difference between deprivation and frugal god-worship of us
their benefactors, we're moving into Iran to look for bin-Laden who must
have escaped over the border from Iraq to Iran in all the confusion, the
world is happy, try not to bother me with inconsequential matters."  The
coronation will take place on Thursday at an undisclosed location under
heavy security.
