COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Iceland unveiled a plaque to its Okjokull ice sheet on Sunday,the first of the country’s hundreds of glaciers to melt away due to climate change.

“Ok (Okjokull) is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path,” said the inscription on the plaque written by Icelandic author Andri Snaer Magnason.

200 years?,hey bud,AOC is the expert on climate change.

[rktman]

Oh, did it drive the Vikings out a couple years ago?

Less ice, more land. Mebbe the lost the recipe for ice cubes.

[Steve Van Doorn]

These people are idiots. Last month marks the first month Okjokull glacier was put on Wikipeda. There is no listing anyplace else I can find. It's also not on Google maps.

I wonder if they're going to mark the funeral of my ice maker when it brakes?

Do I have larger glaciers in my freezer?

[dfwgator]

How did people feel back then when the glacier was getting larger?

It was called “The Little Ice Age” and we’re still emerging from it.

[Carl Vehse]

Mabe each globullwarmingnazis can send Iceland an icecube to contribute in bring the glacier back to life.

[beethovenfan]

The glacier will be back.

[Deaf Smith]

Are they sure it was not volcanos?

Or the Atlantic Riff opening up?

[backwoods-engineer]

LIES.

"Do I have larger glaciers in my freezer?"

If you don't here is a nice recipe:
One large bowl
five cups of water
leave in freezer over night.

you have a large glacier! ready for a funeral.

[BipolarBob]

I planted memorials on Antartic shelfs Larsen A and Larsen B and now I can’t find them. I need a Go-Fund-Me campaign so I can find my dear memorials.

Mourning the loss of a species, a temperature setting, and now a glacier, is simply a Leftist thing:

Unhinged Moonbats mourn the loss of "Old Growth Trees"

It is hilarious, even if it is deeply disturbing!

[rktman]

Sort of like asking ecowankers what did the giant redwoods take the place of. Crickets.......

[goodnesswins]

Now that they put a plaque there, I’m sure you’re correct. ..it’ll be back

[ElkGroveDan]

Cry me a river... a new, cold one.

[hal ogen]

The 5 people who live in Iceland are obvious nitwits ,

[Steve Van Doorn]

Lots of these idiots are billionaires they will not spend one dime to buy some of the "old growth" to save the trees.
But they will spend millions to destroy farmers livelihood to stop them from cutting them.

Old glaciers never die; they just dribble away.
