Loss of Snowpack and Glaciers In Rockies Poses Water Threat by Ed Struzik: Yale Environment 360
When Rocky Mountain explorer Walter Wilcox hiked up to Bow Summit in Canada’s Banff National Park in 1896, he took a photo of a turquoise lake that later caught the eye of a National Geographic magazine editor. In the photo, which was eventually published, the glacier feeding the lake was just a mile upstream.
Since then, the snout of Peyto Glacier has receded more than three milesfrom the broad valley it carved out thousands of years ago. Remnants of ancient tree trunks the glacier bulldozed during those colder times are now being spit out in the wake of its recent retreat.
Scientists say that each year, the Peyto is losing as much as 3.5 million cubic meters of water — roughly the amount the city of Calgary, population 1.2 million, consumes in a day. About 70 percent of the Peyto’s ice mass is already gone, a retreat that will soon have a profound impact on the Mistaya and North Saskatchewan rivers, which the glacier helps nourish.
Walter Wilcox/Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies (top) - Theo Mlynowski via GlacierChange.orgPeyto Glacier from near the current Bow Summit viewing platform in 1896 and from the viewing platform in 2011.
The Peyto is a small example of much bigger things happening to glaciers and snowpack in the Rocky Mountains, which supply most of the stream flow west of the Mississippi River in the United States, as well as much of the water used in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Steadily rising temperatures are not only rapidly melting glaciers, but also have caused a 20 percent decline in spring snow cover throughout the Rockies since 1980, according to a study last year by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
That study said that equally as important as the decline of April snowpack is the timing of when that accumulated snow melts. As the Rocky Mountains warm, reduced winter snows are melting earlier in spring and summer, which can lead to a reduction in water supplies for drinking, irrigation, and hydropower production in key power-producing areas like the Columbia River basin in the Pacific Northwest. Runoff from snowpack alone provides 60 to 80 percent of the annual water supply for 70 million people in the American West, the USGS said.
Yes well of course, the left is always right including all the predictions and forecasts by the so called "scientific community" aka leftist hacks that never came to fruition. People forget that today's "scientific community" is a by-product of academia which is owned and run by the left, and, as a scientist or researcher if you want to keep your job your "results" better match the left's talking points, or else! It's really not that different from the liberal run media, you don't talk the talk and walk the walk, you aren't going to be part of their propaganda machine."Is the 2016 blizzard just a bad case of global warming?! Heh heh heh"
The thread premise is further evidence of the ignorance and stupidity common to most on the right concerning the subject.
Yeah? That's strange, yet here are many more glaciers that are thickening as well. You see, the left is engaged in this propaganda war, and winning, unfortunately:[FONT=source_sans_prolight]Thickening Of Karakoram Glaciers In Himalayas Confirmed; Scientists Baffled By Satellite Images[/FONT]
At a time when most of the world's glaciers are thinning at a double rate, a few Himalayan glaciers have been growing thicker for over a decade now.
New satellite images and data have proved that some glaciers on the Karakoram mountain range, a part of the Himalayas, have gained ice mass, according to a report published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Geoscience.
Assessments of the state of health of Hindu-Kush-Karakoram-Himalaya glaciers and their contribution to regional hydrology and global sea-level rise suffer from a severe lack of observations. An anomalous gain of mass has been suggested for the Karakoram glaciers, but was not confirmed by recent estimates of mass balance, the scientists at France's National Centre for Scientific Research and the University of Grenoble noted in the report, titled Slight mass gain of Karakoram glaciers in the early twenty-first century.
Based on the images acquired from LANDSAT TM, which provides higher resolution and highly accurate images of the Earth's surface, scientists found that a few glaciers in the region surged and advanced between 1998 and 2008.
In many places in the world, there are a few glaciers that have gained in mass. But the vast majority have experianced major mass loss.

A foot or two of snow is a weekly occurrence in a ski resort or city or town that is located in the mountains, and they are equipped to handle it. It's another thing in highly populated urban areas.What I can't figure out is how a foot or two if snow shuts down a whole city. In the south 6 inches causes upheaval.. Why are people down there so soft? Why can't they deal with some snow? Global warming or not, a foot or two of snow should not shut down anything. Softies.
