Pictured: Haunting face crying a river of tears as glacier melts into the sea
At first glimpse it looks like any other glacier you might find in the freezing Arctic wastes of Norway.

But on closer inspection an eerie face is depicted in the melting ice wall that appears to be crying a river of tears.

The forlorn-looking 'Mother Nature' figure appeared to locals during a thaw, with the melting ice and snow falling towards the sea below.

The striking image of the Austfonna ice cap, located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago, would seem certain to be heavily used by environmentalists protesting against climate change.

8. I read some of the British denier comments
in the article. Those blokes apparently haven't read about the ice core evidence.

31. Consider the source and its core readers.
The Daily Mail. Remember, this paper was rah-rahing Hitler and Mussolini pretty well much right up to the point the UK declared war in 1939.

Of course she is crying.
The indigenous people have tried to warn us for decades.
http://www.taironatrust.org

From the Heart of the World - The Elder Brothers’ Warning’, a BBC documentary made by Alan Ereira in 1990. The film contained a strong message of warning concerning the environment.

“Up to now we have ignored the Younger Brother. We have not deigned even to give him a slap. But now we can no longer look after the world alone. The Younger Brother is doing too much damage. He must see, and understand, and assume responsibility. Now we will have to work together. Otherwise, the world will die.”
-Kogi Mama

37. Uh...why would nature care about global warming?
It's an issue of human survival, not natural survival.

Asinine.

38. You know . . .
I was thinking the pic looked kind of photoshopped--like maybe the wingers were going to publish this and see how many people would go woo-woo so they could make fun of them. But then again, I can be a complete cynic.
