Climate Change

[Panda Bear]

Up this way everything from a decrease in Polar Bears, Caribou and the sex life of humans is because of climate change

I know we have several members on this forum from Montana and was curious

are those signs that were put up years ago saying the glaciers would be gone by 2020, still standing ? It is my understanding the glaciers are still there, are the signs ?

They are taking them down.

YUP!
AND we have already had our yearly average of snowfall as of the end of the year.
Are snowiest months are yet to come.

Still pretty cold (i.e. enough to freeze water), but haven't seen any activists.

I found it humorous how the signs placed blame on one single factor, "Human-caused"...

Weather does not equal climate, and taking down the signs does not mean climate change caused by humans is not happening.

I thought climate change was now caused by cow farts?

Today in Pittsburgh. I don't know why I'm going to Cabo San Lucas in two weeks. It is 74 right now.

"Park spokeswoman Gina Kurzmen explained that since the early 2000s scientists have reflected and analyzed data stating glaciers would recede by 2020."

Scientist were basing their data on modeling (hockey stick graph) that turned out to be wrong.

Pretty sure the climate change in Montana is caused by Californians. Idaho too. mtmuley

Only 84% of the park's glaciers have disappeared. Could they have been more wrong?

I imagine this was not directed towards my comment as my comment shared the following.

...signs placed blame on one single factor, "Human-caused"...

Wildfires, volcanos, sun intensity (solar variations), wildfire caused de-forestation, ocean currents, Earth orbital changes, Artic oscillation... are a few examples of natural caused, "climate change".

I agree. Taking down signs does not mean climate change is not happening.

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

Wonder if they will replace them with signs saying they will be gone by 2040?
