A United Nations delegation will travel to Glacier National Park and the North Fork to see for itself the threats of mining and coal bed methane development could have on the Park.
Meeting in Spain last week the 21-member United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's World Heritage Committee voted unanimously to send a mission to Waterton-Glacier and the Canadian Flathead.
American and Canadian interests were in Spain last week to lobby UNESCO to list Glacier as a "World Heritage Site in Danger" — a dubious distinction as Glacier nears its 100th birthday.
Will Hammerquist, the Glacier representative of the National Park Conservation Association and Ryland Nelson, of the Canadian environmental organization Wildsight, testified in front of the panel.
"This is a good step forward," Hammerquist said Tuesday. "The goal is a long-term solution that keeps the North Fork special."
Glacier faces threats from coal mining and coal bed methane development in the Canadian Flathead. It's feared that pollution from such mines would, in turn, pollute the Park. The Cline Mining Co. has proposed a coal mine in the North Fork's headwaters and British Petroleum has proposed coal bed methane development in the region.
The North Fork makes up the entire western border of Glacier and is currently nearly pristine. The Canadian Flathead is also a beautiful place and is largely uninhabited.
Montana Sen. Max Baucus applauded UNESCO's decision.

The only way to solve this is to redistribute wealth from Americans to third world socialist dictators. That’s how we stop global warming. Quick, we need a congressional vote!
The glaciers in Glacier National Park are ONLY a few thousand years old.
It is surprising they lasted this long.
Ban the UN thugs from Montana and the rest of the country. We don’t want their stinking carbon footprints on our sovereign soil.
Use Turtle Bay as an example of urban redevelopment by bulldozing the UN.
Meanwhile, the Chinese open a new coal-fired electric generating plant every week.
Consider the words of humanist Sir Julian Huxley, vice-president of the British Eugenics Society, founding director of UNESCO, and co-founder of the WWF:
“The lowest strata... allegedly less well endowed genetically... must not have too easy access to relief or hospital treatment lest the removal of the last check on natural selection should make it too easy for children to be produced or to survive...”
— Julian Huxley, Galton Lecture at the Eugenics Society, 1936
“Thus, even though it is quite true that any radical eugenics policy of controlled human breeding will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care...”
— Julian Huxley, “UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy”, 1947

It would be fitting if the Yellowstone caldera blasted off just as a bunch of blowhards like this were in the area.
The U.N. can take a long walk off a short pier.
The whole objective is to give the UN control over sovereign U.S. territory. The spineless weenies in DC are happy to hand it over. Baucus is a useful idiot.
Just a small one up around Glacier would be fine. (got friends in Montana)
May they walk up to the face and it calf on them.
