In 15 years, Gore said , there will be no more glaciers on Mount Kilimanjaro. As for Glacier National Park in Montana, he said, “Within 20 years, this is the park that will be formerly known as Glacier.” And the Rhone Glacier in Switzerland “is almost completely gone,” he said.

GORE’S ENVIRONMENTAL STAKE - WHITE HOUSE STANCE ON GLOBAL WARMING COULD SERIOUSLY AFFECT POLITICAL CLIMATE TOO

Al Gore was moving fast, as though the big glacier would melt before he reached it. With reporters puffing and wheezing in his wake, he scaled five miles of nearly vertical mountain trails to touch the ice and strike a symbolic blow against global warming.

“It’s melting right before our eyes,” the vice president observed as he stood above Grinnell Glacier , the great river of ice amid the jagged peaks of Glacier National Park. Another 30 years of warming will reduce Grinnell to a dirty puddle, Gore said — and future tourists will have to settle for “the park formerly known as Glacier .”
