Dry

The Aral Sea in central Asia has almost completely dried up. I know, you're thinking Climate Change, right? After all, it can make volcanoes hotter and Al Gore richer, so drying up a mere inland sea should be child's play for such an all-powerful force, yes?

Nope. It weren't Evil Capitalists what done for the Aral Sea, it were COMMIES! The Soviets diverted water out of it for decades to support agriculture (because collective farming is so incredibly efficient, you see) and pretty well sucked it dry.

Good job, Lefties! You killed a sea. You should feel terrible.
