    The Dried up Aral Sea Eco-Disaster

    Liberals love to blame eco-disasters on capitalistic greed.

    "Explorer/adventurer George Kourounis visits the Aral Sea in western Uzbekistan where wasteful irrigation practices by the former Soviet Union have drained most of the water, creating a vast ecological disaster. Rusting fishing boats lie in the desert sands that used to be rich fishing grounds."

    Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler

    The Russians have had so many environmental disasters!

    Saw a segment about the Aral sea on the SciGo channel.

    And as a natural occurrence, people can plan around it.
