When I was in Alaska a few years ago, I went on a guided hike to the Mendenhall glacier. Along the hike up to the glacier, they have placed signs where the glacier was in the past. It has receded considerably over the years.

At the start of the hiking trail, there was a placard with a map that showed the extent of the glacier, marked with the year that it extended to various points. I noticed that the most rapid recession of the glacier shown on the map occurred between 1910 and 1942. I remarked to our guide that I didn't realize there were so many SUVs around back then. He just gave me a blank look.

Its gets better and bigger but the left, MSM, grifters, liars, grant recipients and so forth cover up any news worth reposting. I like the recent stories about buying Greenland, I’d move there in a second but in the meantime the rare stories that trickle out that explorers are finding grape plantings, parts of wheels, stone foundations etc. that are being found from the Viking era as part of the glacial ice is melting. Idiots.

Back in 1942, MGM produced a Traveltalks short on the Glacier and Waterton National parks. They said the glaciers have been receding since the last Ice Age 12 thousand years ago, “And if there is NO CLIMATIC CHANGE, they would be gone in a thousand years..”
So, no matter what Puny Man does to stop it the melt will continue.
