In a last-ditch attempt to save the glacier, the Venezuelan government has installed a thermal blanket to prevent further melting, but experts say it is an exercise in futility.
I hate to nit-pick from the sidelines, but did anyone genuinely think this would work effectively? Or did someone sell them a ADE 651 bomb detector[0] in blanket form?

- bravetraveler 2y agoIs it really fraud when the seller says the input mechanism is... Shredded Polaroid? edit: sorry, rather, a meticulously cut up copy of a photograph. What?! How is this not fraud/dereliction on the part of the government? I know why - incentives/positioning, but still. They bought a dream and got it, I don't see the fraud.
