Glacier National Park Quietly Removes Its ‘Gone by 2020’ Signs
Worldwide glacier recession is well documented (1,2) and varied model projections suggest that certain studied GNP glaciers will disappear in the next few decades, between 2030 (3) to 2080 (4). USGS scientists in Glacier National Park are collaborating with glaciologist from Alaska and Washington and using emerging technologies to understand glacier-climate interactions to advance the understanding of alpine glaciers. By providing objective scientific monitoring, analysis and interpretation of glacier change, the USGS is helping land managers make well informed decisions regarding Park management.View attachment 297926

LOL... That's why those signs were removed this summer... I live up here and work with many of those people and they tell me they were forced to put them up as a scare tactic.. Now that the lies have been exposed they want no part of this lie.Worldwide glacier recession is well documented (1,2) and varied model projections suggest that certain studied GNP glaciers will disappear in the next few decades, between 2030 (3) to 2080 (4).

Retreat of Glaciers in Glacier National Park
That is the date I have seen predicted for decades. Either that sign is photoshopped, or someone was not quoting the scientists.
Leftists 10,000 years ago were screaming murder about the glaciers receding from Yosemite leaving a huge eyesore scar.LOL... That's why those signs were removed this summer...

Glacier National Park Quietly Removes Its ‘Gone by 2020’ Signs
In 1966, the park had 35 named glaciers large enough to be considered active. By 2015, only 26 named glaciers remained. The average area reduction was 39 percent, though some lost as much as 85 percent. This trend of glacier retreat is expected to continue as temperatures rise.

Wierd how much if it melted 50 years. Especially if it took 20,000 to get that size.Melting Glaciers - Glacier National Park (U.S. National Park Service)View attachment 297926

As usual you present a very short history, to make misleading conclusions. Lets try the entire interglacial period instead:
"At the Last Glacial Maximum (approximately 20,000 years ago), GNP was almost entirely encased in ice, with glaciers filling mountain valleys and extending onto the plains (Carrara, 1989). All but the tallest peaks were covered by glaciers. Geologic evidence suggests that by approximately 11,500 years ago, the GNP landscape was nearly ice free (Porter and others, 1983). Lake sediment records suggest that, since approximately 6,500 years ago, small glaciers have been present and active (Munroe and others, 2012).Comprehensive mapping of glacial moraines (fig. 3) indicates that there were 146 small mountain glaciers in GNP at the Little Ice Age glacial maximum near the mid-19th century (Fagre and Martin-Mikle, 2019). Since then, every glacier has decreased in area (Fagre and others, 2017). The rate of retreat, however, is not uniform across GNP glaciers, likely because of variations in glacier geometry, elevation, ice thickness, wind effects on snow, snow avalanches (fig. 4), and shading (Florentine and others, 2018)."

What a liar you continue to be. No, most of the glacier had not melted by 1900;Wierd how much if it melted 50 years. Especially if it took 20,000 to get that size.Melting Glaciers - Glacier National Park (U.S. National Park Service)View attachment 297926

90% of the glaciers had melted before 1900.
By the way, that is a USGS site, you know, real geologists.Wierd how much if it melted 50 years. Especially if it took 20,000 to get that size.Melting Glaciers - Glacier National Park (U.S. National Park Service)View attachment 297926

How many of those glaciers even existed, and how large do you suppose those glaciers were prior to the onset of the little ice age....which the earth is still warming out of? Keep in mind that the present is the coolest period of the past 10,000 years with the exception of the little ice age.
