They had to take down the signs at Glacier National park that said what year the glaciers would disappear by. Problem was they got to the year and there were still glaciers

That one always cracks me up, but were scientists in charge of putting up the signs? Or was it some park worker or intern trying to make it more "exciting" and make guests think they were seeing something that would be gone?

I find it hard to believe a scientist would give a hard date prediction on something like that

Lol researchers claimed the glaciers would melt by 2030. They moved it to 2050 and then to 2080.

Money talks.


haha the wwf are pushing it further out... We need more funding!

Even if we significantly curb emissions in the coming decades, more than a third of the world's remaining glaciers will melt before the year 2100.


The climate crisis will never end. It's the long grift.

Ok. Whatever dude.

The signs in the Montana park were added more than a decade ago to reflect climate change forecasts at the time by the US Geological Survey, park spokeswoman Gina Kurzmen told CNN.

In 2017, the park was told by the agency that the complete melting off of the glaciers was no longer expected to take place so quickly due to changes in the forecast model, Kurzmen said. But tight maintenance budgets made it impossible for the park to immediately change the signs.

Really? You find it difficult? A simple google search shows dozen of reports by scientist claiming ice feee seas by mid 2030’s. And I’m not even looking for past reports.
