FINALLY.

At least it's a break from green:


Toxic cyanobacteria covers up to 80% of Lake Tai, China's third-largest freshwater lake.

that's not good.

6 more seals to go

they are procreating.

God only knows what combination of chemicals have been dumped into the river to cause this. You know if we would just relax some of our environmental regulations like Romney/ Ryan want to do, we could get some of our jobs back from China!

Heck, it could be anything except surprising.

The river, or the fact that locals are being willfully ignorant as to detecting the source...

. Plague of blood (דָם : Ex. 7:14–25

“This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD: With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood. The fish in the Nile will die, and the river will stink and thus the Egyptians will not be able to drink its water. ”

— Exodus 7:17–18

Anybody wanna bet that might have had something to do with it. Looks no different than the Georgia red clay down here in the South.

thank god for industrial waste

They almost seem impressed...

GROSS!!! Looks like blood!

In the central coast of CA, there are a lot of old mercury mines, but other types of mines will do it too. About 20 years ago, a creek up there suddenly turned this color. The old mercury mine tailings mix with water to create this highly acidic liquid the color of tomato soup. Old abandoned mines keep making it forever, especially when rains hit, and a lot of times all that's done to capture it is to funnel it from the tailings pile to a huge holding pond. Anyway, in the CA instance, they followed the colored creek up to where the red began, and sure enough it was from an acid mine drainage holding pond--that the mine owner was illegally pumping out.

I'm guessing maybe an earthquake opened up one of those holding ponds in China. If it is acid mine drainage, that idiot holding a bottle of it better put it down. Acid mine drainage burns skin.

It will be showing up in dollar stores as orange pop.

Chemical factories are famous for poisoning China's water:

Lot's of different possible causes, none of which are good.

I've traveled in China, the level of pollution is scary, the almost total lack of concern about it is even scarier!

While I'm not religious today, I was raised Roman Catholic. This photo brings to mind the story of Moses. Biblical shit indeed.

Something must be causing this, I hope the source is identified and that they are able to return the water to... well, whatever it was before it turned orange-red.

probably from companies gone over there to avoid environmental laws, health laws, child labor laws, ethical work week laws, medical insurance, minimum wages, etc, etc, etc owned by U.S. business owners that don't care. I'm sure there must be companies from other countries as well, but I'm damn sure the U.S. cheaters, like Rmoney, are there, stealing their resources and destroying their environments. God save our country from Rmoney. GO OBAMA!!
