Melting glaciers in Swiss Alps could reveal hundreds of mummified corpses
Swiss police say hundreds of bodies of mountaineers who have gone missing in the Alps in the past century could emerge in coming years as global warming forces the country's glaciers to retreat.
Alpine authorities have registered a significant increase in the number of human remains discovered last month, with the body of a man missing for 30 years the most recent to be uncovered.
Rescue teams in Saas Valley in the Valais canton were called last Tuesday after two climbers retreating from an aborted ascent spotted a hand and two shoes protruding from the Hohlaub glacier.
Rescuers spent two hours freeing the body with icepicks and their bare hands before a helicopter flew the remains to Bern. Forensics experts matched the DNA to that of a German citizen, born in 1943, who had gone missing on a hike in 11 August 1987.
The discovery comes less than a week after the bodies of a Swiss couple, missing for 75 years, were found in the Tsanfleuron glacier in the same canton. Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin had disappeared after going out to milk their cows in a meadow above Chandolin on 15 August 1942.
Anybody still not believing Global Warming?

And my observation is that right-wingers adopt a holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to carrying fetuses to term, but ignore them once they exit the birth canal, and castigate their mothers for bringing another mouth to suck at the public teat. Then there's their attitude towards the family........until they get caught porking an intern or a domestic, then they blame their human weakness and ask God to forgive them.

Must be from dragging my knuckles on the ground. Makes it difficult to type so I mash the key board with my thumbs.
All this heat makes me dull.

You didn't mention it but, yes, that's true.
