Dear me.
Yes indeed. The place is disappearing because all of the rivers tributaries have been damned up. It is a well known issue, and has nothing to do with "climate change". It is man caused however. I suggest you read a book called "The Control of Nature" by John McPhee. He go's into great detail about the issue. It was written waaaaaay back in 1989. The people aren't stupid. They are just well acquainted with the problem so aren't moved by the AGW faithful's propaganda.
