Mother Nature in Tears

Today's Sun has an article which claims that there is a "face" in a melting iceberg.

While a nice story, once again it is simply an example of pareidolia - seeing images in random patterns.

The article also has the unfortunate side-effect of implying that any science related to global warming/climate change - irrespective of the fact that is a well-established theory - is controlled by hippies:
"Every summer there is less ice. I was struck by this image of a face - a saddened, motherly face, crying about our inability to reduce global warming."
Sigh...

You have to admit it does look like a crying face, unlike that 'ghost in the window' which is clearly just condensation.
