I blame cow farts.
Nope. Incandescents and fat people.

It’s winter so it will come right back ... It looks like the snow that is left over in the high Rockies. Some years it blocked the trails, other years it was all gone. Live with it.

Nope. Incandescents and fat people. I'm guilty on both counts.

In 1999, Ramirez, the head of a team of researchers studying the glacier since 1991, believed that the glacier would continue to exist until 2015, but the rate of melting tripled in the last ten years, and the once popular tourist destination is now completely gone. So instead of dying when it was 1,953,456 years old, it died when it was 1,953,451 years old. The thing was shrinking and melting naturally.

In the largeness of geologic time, glaciers come and glaciers go. There was once one right on top of my Kansas farm. But, idiots, that’s another matter. Idiots are forever and that’s what the AGW cultists most certainly are.

So, turn it into the tallest mountain bike downhill and quit your whining.

It will be a desert by Tuesday, if you don't get your fat friends to exercise and use candles.

Woo-hoo, the mini-Ice Age is over! We're returning to more normal weather & temperature patterns. Longer growing seasons, with more people fed...less fossil fuel used to heat homes in the winter, reducing energy bills and air pollution...more work and commerce, reducing poverty worldwide. I think I'll turn on all my incandescents at the house, crank up the A/C, light a fire in the fireplace, drive my car around the neighborhood for fun, barbecue some steaks & burgers on the grill, drink some beer, and smoke a cigar.
Let's hope more glaciers melt!

“It’s very probable that other glaciers are disappearing faster than we thought.” - Ramirez While glaciation expands elsewhere? Another blind man describing the elephant.

No way a peak at 17,388 feet is above 32 degrees. I blame the clean air act meaning more sunlight (sublimation) and less precipitation due to deforestation.

So instead of dying when it was 1,953,456 years old, it died when it was 1,953,451 years old.My guess would be that it formed during the last ice age, roughly 20,000 years ago.

The last ice age started to end about 20,000 years ago, but it started over 100,000. My number was an order of magnitude off though, lol.
