For all those who think global warming isn't actually happening, please explain why a non-existent problem is keeping cartographers busy.CNN:
Melting glaciers in the Alps may prompt Italy and Switzerland to redraw their borders near the Matterhorn, according to parliamentary draft legislation being readied in Rome.
Franco Narducci of Italy's opposition Democratic Party is preparing a bill to redefine the frontier with neighboring Switzerland, his office said Wednesday.
[...]
The Italian Military Geographic Institute says climate change is responsible for the Alpine glaciers melting.
"This draft law is born out the necessity to revise and verify the frontiers given the changes in climate and atmosphere," Narducci said. "The 1941 convention between Italy and Switzerland established as criteria [for border revisions] the ridge [crest] of the glaciers. Following the withdrawal of the glaciers in the Alps, a new criterion has been proposed so that the new border coincides with the rock."
Now map-makers and Swiss and Italian lawmakers have joined the global conspiracy to destroy capitalism with socialist "green scares."
Because that's much more convincing than a bunch of fancy-pants scientific elitists with their atmospheric models and ice cores and stuff.
