April 4, 2010: Drought

The shifting of weather patterns have brought floods, and drought, to various parts of the globe.
Parts of China have been suffering from a severe drought, causing crop failures in the rural areas, and dust storms in Beijing.



Quote:
Out of the water-rich Nanchang, hometown news, Qujing city yesterday to local drought now Luliang County town of Dege Hai Zi Mo Reservoir. In front of all to my mind startled. This originally had 1.6 million cubic meters of reservoir water has now dried up bottom, a shocking article palm crack width. Crack depths up to half a meter of soil.
"This lake has never dried up after 40 years." Lao Zhang sighed village, the lake dried up, the villagers took away the lake's big fish, many fish drilling mud, and finally die slowly as the water evaporation , see people sad ... ...
You probably noticed that is a Google translation.

That texture gives me the willies. Like a holey suspended ceiling does.

This is probably what Lake Mead near Las Vegas will look like in 10 years.

I hate that, when I get stuck in mud and it dries around me and then I die. I really it when that happens...

Second pic looks like a clay elephant caught a fish



Gravdigr  Tuesday Apr 6 05:25 PM

The fish pic is outfuckingstanding. But, I wonder why the fish didn't rot away? It couldn't get that arid that fast, for there not to be enough moisture to begin rottage. Could it?



Cloud  Tuesday Apr 6 05:48 PM

didn't we have another post about this? Where the kids got lost in the dust storm?

ETA: hmm. cannot find. I think it was a Time article--very horrific. The dust storms were so bad, that kids got lost and died walking home from school.

The photoshop generation is skeptical of everything they haven't seen with their own eyes.

I didn't say they shopped the pic. Weather control. That's what I'm saying!
