UM, Yellowstone sits atop the largest volcano on earth. But I guess that has nothing to do with the temperature there.

I've never visited there but how can Death Valley be at risk? I thought it was real hot there already.

Dunno, Global Warming™ must work in mysterious ways.

They need a new goofy catastrophy to start whining about. Global Warming™ is still funny, its just starting to wear thin.

I would love to hear her comments on this regarding Mt Rainier ... she has written 2 books on the mountain.

What total BS. A few years ago the same dire predictions were made for parks here in Colorado. Now we have had the heaviest snowfall last winter and a wet summer, so the parks are thriving.

This kind of crap is right in line with Algore's embarassing movie. Taking a few selected observations and building a crisis!

How many goofballs are there? You ask -- LOTS!
I'll take the Parks and Rec Areas in turn.
BNC, NM. Just how heat can cause a problem at these ruins is a mystery.
DV, CA. I was there a couple of weeks ago. Warm you bet.
Beautiful and awesome with or without water.
GNP,MT. The "glaciers" were very small in 1947. Ranger stated at that time: "There are receding".
GCNRA, UT/AZ. The lake is man made. Youse takes your chances!
GGNRA, CA. The area is in the middle if San Francisco!
GTNP, WY. Just south of Yellowstone NP. So what's the problem? Beautiful views.
MVNP, CO. The ruins were abandoned in 1300 or so. Reason --
drought.
MRNP & NCNP, WA. So? What's the problem?
RMNP, CO. Beautiful awesome views. There will remain for
the next 1.0 mil years.
YSNP, WY,MT,ID. As long as ground water is available in addition to the water from magma YS will remain as you now see it. No man eating grizzlies --- what a shame.
When YS blows --- It'll be really neat!

"Watermelons" are neat! But totally detached from reality!

Bush killing teddy bears bump.

Seriously, this is an obvious strategy for the drive-by media. First we heard how the polar bears are dying off. Today, while in the airport, I heard how some puppies and kittens in Beirut had to be moved from a shelter because they were afraid due to the shelling. Now this. This is that National Lampoon cover - Buy this magazine or we'll shoot this dog - all over again. Yogi was right - it's deja vu all over again.

Mt. Rainier.....????? MT. RAINIER.....?????? I just looked out the window at it. It's late July and there's still LOTS of snow on it.

OMG! The glaciers in Death Valley are melting. Oh, the humanity!

A very refreshing read. Remindes me of Kerouac.

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah and Arizona

First time I ever heard the watermelon SOB's give a damn about Glen Canyon. Most of them want it drained.

I guess for now they figure it's a useful prop for helping shove a socialist agenda down our throats.

Some skeptics doubt that people affect global climate change and say temperature fluctuations have occurred throughout history.

You don't say! And here I was, thinking the Earth's average temperature has been 67.3 degrees since dinosaurs ruled. Glad to see those silly skeptics slapped down by incontrovertible scientific consensus.

Glaciers and ice caves have melted in North Cascades and Mt. Rainier parks

They've been melting since the Ice Age. So what! Glaciers are always getting either bigger or smaller. Right now they are getting smaller. One thing they never do is stay the same, despite what the watermelons say.

Global warming is helping them draining it -- not enough precipitation in the Rockies is causing low water levels and exposing canyons not seen since the dam was completed. Of course, it also exposes mudflats, bathtub rings and sunken tourist trash left behind. Not exactly a pretty sight.

Want to see an enviro-whacko's head explode. Show 'em this.

The following graphs show that Earth is in a brief period of global warming called an interglacial. The longer time spans, the deep troughs are glacial periods. The line that runs across the graphs is the temperature in 1950 and listed as "0" on the left axis.

As can be seen in the last graph (Figure 1-5), Earth appears ready to move toward another ice age in the cycle.

I'm more concerned with sustaining global warming to offset global cooling and the next ice age.

Ice Ages & Astronomical Causes
Brief Introduction to the History of Climate
by Richard A. Muller

Origin of the 100 kyr Glacial Cycle

This first graph looks bad, doesn't it -- steeper upward temperature trend. Horizontal red line is temperature at 1950.

Figure 1-1 Global warming

The second graph shows today's temperature isn't out of the norm. Horizontal blue line is temperature at 1950.

Figure 1-2 Climate of the last 2400 years

The next graph shows a downtrend in temperatures from 8,000 years ago to today. The down trend is steeper in the recent 2,000 years. From left to right the upper spikes have lower highs while the lower spikes have lower lows. (The same effect can be seen in Figure 1-2, above.) 

Figure 1-3 Climate of the last 12,000 years

This graph shows that agriculture and  stationary societies emerged 8,000 years ago during a time frame when global temperature was much higher than normal, or average.

Figure 1-4 Climate of the last 100,000 years

The next graph shows that the recent 8,000 years was one of five brief hot spikes when glaciers were at minimums. With much longer troughs when glacials (ice ages) were the norm most of the time.

Figure 1-5 Climate for the last 420 kyr, from Vostok ice

The graph below is reversed. That is, the left side is present day and the right side is 3 million years ago. It shows a 3 million year down trend toward widening extremes in the temperature cycle.

Global warming puts 12 of the most famous U.S. national parks at risk, environmentalists said on Tuesday
"Environmentalists" work non-stop at one basic task: keep thinking up ways to keep global warming in the news.

Thanks for all the graphs. I particularly like the second one, that clearly shows what a lot of us suspected, that the Roman use of SUVs really did drive up the world's average temperature. What I didn't realize was that cathedral construction projects also warmed the earth. Must have been all those sub-contractors making money and, again, buying SUVs.
