A pirate is lurking in **rthern Canada, and global warming is only making it stronger.
The Alsek River recently stole water flowing into the Slims River and took it for itself, a phe**me**n k**wn as "river piracy" — which scientists blame on a massive retreating glacier distributing water in new ways.*
The development is the first k**wn case of river piracy in the modern era, and it's the first to be pinned in part on climate change, researchers wrote in a study (https://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ngeo2932.html) published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience.*
It also points to an unexpected consequence of human-caused global warming.
