We know that the Visitors “talk inside our heads,” but unfortunately, WE don’t.

They release GERMS! – Those pristine-looking Alpine glaciers now melting as global warming sets in may explain the mysterious increase in persistent organic pollutants in sediment from certain lakes since the 1990s, despite decreased use of those compounds in pesticides, electric equipment, paints and other products. Could this become dangerous in the future that may on the way?
