The telling tale of Glacier National Park’s ‘gone by 2020’ signs

They should leave them up as an example of climax hoaxes of the past.

We need to establish a MUSEUM OF CLIMATE HOAX ARTIFACTS. These signs would make a nice exhibit,

Its signs will now say: “When they [the glaciers] will completely disappear depends on how and when we act. One thing is consistent: The glaciers in the park are shrinking.”

During an inter-glacial period? Holy Holocene, Batman, say it ain't so!

Or they could have a museum of 'science' hoaxes... peak oil, killer bees, population bomb - mass starvation by the 1990's... There's 41 in total from the early 60's to now.

Leave them up until at least November:

CAESAR: The ides of March are come.
Soothsayer: Ay, Caesar; but not gone.
