Industries that shrink lakes as they grow: the Aral Sea, between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan
This is another clear example of how destructive human greed can be. In 1960, a project was undertaken to divert and channel water from the Aral Sea (which despite its name is actually a lake) to produce cotton and other crops in the middle of the desert. This project ended up drying up the lake almost completely as cotton is one of the largest water consuming crops in the world.

I follow high altitude mountaineering as a hobby. I've done a bunch of reading as well as watching the climbing films and documentaries and I know that things are changing up high as well. Where there used to be glaciers there are now lakes. Base camp Everest is on rock not ice and things are melting rapidly. I don't care what you want to call it or deny it, but you cannot tell me it isn't happening.

Randolph,
The evidence is everywhere, but some people just can't handle it.
