Hilarious and not satire.


Glacier National Park to remove all 'glaciers will be gone by 2020' signs

Glacier National park is removing signs around the park, stating all glaciers will be melted by 2020.

Glacier National Park Spokesperson Gina Kurzmen tells MTN that since the early 2000s scientists have reflected and analyzed data stating glaciers would recede by 2020.

She explains that the latest research shows shrinking, but in ways much more complex than what was predicted.

Because of this, the park must update all signs around the park stating all glaciers will be melted by 2020.

The sign at St. Mary’s visitor center was removed in May of last year and other signs will be removed around the park as budgets permit.

Kurzmen tells MTN that the park will work with the US Geological Survey to monitor the glaciers and update the remainder of the signs as necessary.

I wish they would leave them up as a monument to liberal arrogance.

The Rangers have been spewing the global Warming bullshit on tours and in pamphlets for several years now.

AKA "We screwed the pooch here but will never admit we were wrong"

Maybe they should just make the signs like fuel prices at the gas station, then they can conveniently change the date of demise.

The Global Warming religion has been proven wrong so many times, you’d think they’d learn. Apparently not

New signs will be placed claiming full meltage by 2032

Exactly.
For my entire life the climate alarmists have been predicting doom and gloom just around the corner. Think Al Gore.
Then, when the predictions don't come true, they just try to pretend they never made that prediction and make a new alarming prediction.

What is that saying about those who fail to learn from history?

Well, these morons absolutely REFUSE to accept the hard evidence of previous ice ages!!!

But they are getting too much money to support their lunacy, so they will never stop.

Over the last several years I have seen "evidence" that proves some number of ice ages. Earlier, the number was 16 based on Antarctic ice core samples.

I just did a search to see what the latest data show. The most common answer seems to be five.

Looks kind of like these "scientists" just pick a number and then develop the "data" to prove it. In any event, we don't have to worry about it any time soon.

I'm a bit surprised that a government operation has set their sights on the 'lowly' goal of simply changing the signs in the park, when a far more efficient means of spending tax payer dollars at exorbitant rates would be to hand rangers extension cords and hair dryers in an effort to make the original prediction come true on schedule.

The Park Service is peopled all the way to the top with leftist asshats. Law enforcement is the only group that are not heavily infected.

More Government workers who don't actually have to turn a profit - just show up, spend some time doing something, get paid.

Just parroting and spouting "Al Gore bullshit".

Shrinkage??

I'm still trying to figure pout why everyone is so concerned about glaciers

where was it written in stone that said that glaciers are a natural and persistent part of the ecosystem?

what if the existence of glaciers is an anomaly, and not the norm? After all, the oldest measured glacier on the planet is only 33 million years old and the plant is over 4 billion, so the existence of glaciers is a small fraction of the entire planets life time

perhaps the norm is no glaciers...

libtards cannot manage their own lives, yet they think they can manage the climate?

Many, yes, but you might be surprised to learn that not everyone fits that category.

That's certainly possible. It's also demonstrably true that the glaciers didn't start to recede at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Why is the size of a glacier at that point of any significance? Maybe we should shoot for getting all of the Northern Plains back under ice, too.

I was recently on an Alaskan cruise. The Parks people board the ship and give a lecture about the glaciers in and around Glacier bay. Interesting that while the general spin was all about global warming the details were about glaciers that had both advanced and withdrawn repeatedly over 150 years or so.

Well, one can also say then that homo sapiens aren't the norm on this planet either.

But the point is still valid. These climate alarmists somehow believe that right now is the way it's supposed to be forever and always. Hit the pause button so to speak. Cause otherwise, couldn't one make the argument that we should be under a mile of ice all the way down to Utah? Why is it that where glaciers are or were 100 years ago is exactly where they were always meant to be. There's simply no logic to this static existence that these idiots think we should be living in.

Wasting our tax dollars to do it, and continure their lifestyle.

Took a Ranger led hike to Avalanche Lake several years ago. I had to roll my eyes at the BS that was being shoveled.

I enjoy Glacier NP more than Yellowstone. It's still what I would consider crowded, but not as crowded as Yellowstone. I think Yellowstone is a bit overrated.

If you want the mountains, but don't want the crazy crowds, go up north of Glacier to Waterton Lakes, AB. One of my favorite places.
