Mind quoting your source re: 84% of the glaciers in GNP have disappeared?

My calculator. 25 out of the original 150 remain.

Today's best science indicates that the global temperature has increased 1.5 degree C since 1850. Humans have contributed to 1/3, or .5 degree C of that temperature increase. Significant amount and should not be ignored. Also should not be over-hyped either.

25 out of the 35 named (bigger glaciers) still remain.

Which is what you would expect.

The full moon is coinciding with what should be the peak of the rut in the AZ Desert. Obvi climate change

If you believed the signs, like many have, they would all be gone now. Even the bigger glaciers. Getting this wrong isn't helping the distrust in this science.

We agree on that.

The melting of all but 25 glaciers, along with the shrinking of the remaining 25, should be evidence enough. We don't need to predict the minute the last ice cube melts to understand the trend.

I agree, but they set themselves up to be ridiculed by people with no understanding of their discipline by making such a specific prediction.

100% agree.

God made science.

Yea I always get confused which day of the that was.

Fixed it for you..

Thanks for bringing the money Rancho. Your attitude is the thing I despise. Montana wouldn't be the same without you. Wish it was. mtmuley

Doctor: " I'm going to give it to you straight, all the most advanced cat scans, MRIs, Xrays, and blood work all show this disease is killing you. You only have a short time to start this treatment to save your life. All of our studies, tests and trials with the most modern medicine, science and technology back up this course of action"..
Patient: "That's bullshit doc, see? My elbow is just fine."

In the area that would become Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, ice advanced and retreated until probably melting completely about 12,000 years ago. During the ice advances, the lower valleys were filled with glaciers and only the very tops of the higher peaks were visible. The "rivers of ice" sculpted the mountains and valleys into a variety of landforms associated with major alpine and valley glacial action.

Interesting history and to think after completely melting it resurged again with glaciers only to melt again...
