National Parks are another government idea gone bad. Pot growers in the parks are causing more damage than climate change.

***Montana’s Glacier National Park could even find itself glacier-less.***

According to a 1942 MGM Traveltalks short on Glacier and Waterton NPs, the glaciers have been receding since the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago and “If there is NO CLIMATIC CHANGE, they will be gone in a thousand years.”

So, go-bull warming or not they will be gone.

***The most severe increases would hit Alaska’s North Slope, where grizzly bears, caribou, polar bears and other sensitive species make their homes.***

So, how did the animals survive BETWEEN the last FIVE Ice ages?

“At least five major ice ages have occurred throughout Earth’s history: the earliest was over 2 billion years ago, and the most recent one began approximately 3 million years ago and continues today (yes, we live in an ice age!).”

I've got a suggestion, take away their national park status and make them open government land, problem solved.

So,....global warming is a thinking creature that knows where the national parks are located, and selectively targets them?

National parks suck

I love national parks. I can't wait to surf Glacier National Park and work on my tan at Denali National Park.

Government control is what ruins National Parks. Government screws everything up.

The truly pathetic criminal thing is that these so-called scientist losers are paid with taxpayers’ money. Throw them in prison!

The US National Park Service has allowed thousands of acres of forest cover to burn off completely in extremely arid parks like the Grand Canyon North Rim and Mesa Verde... and then they wonder why the temperature readings are higher in the parks. It is because they did not lift a finger to prevent the almost total destruction of the naturally occurring forests. In Mesa Verde, rangers openly admit that the pinon pine/utah juniper forest may never recover or regrow. They allowed these fires to occur because they have a policy of non-interference with “natural” processes. I have personally visited and observed the burnoffs in both parks and it is a crime that they allowed this to happen.
