“Glaciers were to be gone from Glacier National Park by 2020, but they’re still there.”

Its dramatic when you see signs like this.

You have to realize that 1982 is about 25% of the time back to the end of The Little Ice Age which is likely when the glaciers were at a maximum for the last thousand years. The glaciers have probably been shrinking since around 1850.

You could just as well put a marker in downtown Chicago that says, “A mile-thick glacier existed here 10,000 years ago.” The climate changes, sometimes dramatically, on its own. We have no significant effect, nor can we affect its direction. End of story.
