See that snow on top of Mount Kilimanjaro? That photo was taken on December 23, 2022. All Gore said that would be gone by 2012... It's now 2023 and that snow is till there, and in 100 years... It will still be there.

Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Half of the world's glaciers will melt and disappear before the turn of the next century, according to alarming new research that predicts greater fallout from global warming despite meaningful efforts in recent years to address environmental concerns.
The study, published Thursday in the journal Science, projects that nearly 50% of the Earth's natural ice will dissolve by the year 2100, which is much quicker than scientists previously calculated if the planet warmed by only 1.5C -- a benchmark set by hundreds of nations to cut emissions and protect more land for nature and the environment.
The world's oceans would rise dramatically under such a scenario and lead to flooding and other major disasters around the world, according to the study, which analyzed glacial land ice but excluded Greenland and the Antarctic ice sheets.
Glacier ice melt accounts for more than one-third of the rise in sea levels, scientists say. Melting occurs naturally, but the climate crisis and increased temperatures have sped up the decline.

Damn the luck.!!
Who?
This, like almost everything these days, is all about money.
They always push it back to where they’ll not be around to admit they were lying.
Global warming?? What happened to climate change?
Easy math to calculate ocean sea level rises.
Per a quick internet search fir surface area of the worlds oceans = 139 million square miles.
Convert that area to square feet = 3.875e15 SF
To raise the level by 1 in (0.0833ft) x 3.875e15 = 322,795,630,080,000 cubic feet of water
4,944,053,341,008,403 cubic feet of water contained in the worlds glaciers.
By dividing the cubic feet/inch by the volume of the glaciers that = approximately 15 inches of rise. Divide that by 2 and the predicted sea level increase by 2100 is 7.5 inches per this article.
My current sea level elevation is approximately 740 feet.
“Glacier National Park is replacing signs that predicted its glaciers would be gone by 2020 CNN” — January 8, 2020"
https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/08/us/glaciers-national-park-2020-trnd/index.html
The signs are still there. They simply removed the 2020 prediction and replaced it with, "When they [the glaciers] will completely disappear depends on how and when we act. One thing is consistent: the glaciers in the park are shrinking."
The claim is still wrong, as many of the glaciers are actually growing. The NPS is playing games with photos (e.g., summer vs winter, black-and-white vs color) to make it look otherwise.
Climate Alarmists Meltdown Over Glacier National Park (Except When They’re Growing)
Great! We need fewer glaciers and more warming!!
“Half of world’s glaciers…”
RIGHT.
AND I HAVE SOME LAND ON THE MOON I’D LIKE TO SELL…
CHEAP.
Don’t these people realize how stupid they sound?
They should go stand in front of a mirror and spout that nonsense.
I’m sure Lake Mead could use one of those glaciers.
Melting glaciers are part of the natural environment.
“Scientists?” Pfffttt.

OK, so by 2100, we can expect to see more of them.
I thought they were scheduled to melt before 2000...
The Gates' home near San Diego already has a seven feet high and two feet thick concrete sea wall protecting it.His wall isn't to keep the sea out, it's to keep Epstein's files in.
If Greenland had lush forests and wild life, where were the ice caps back then? Could it be they melt and re appear at another location? Maybe the axis shifts every million years or so? Our solar system doesn’t stand still or stays on the exact path in one location. Its moving like the rest of the universe. Who knows what kind of invisible pockets we glide through in space that control our temperatures? (Rhet.)
Great observation
If all the ice melted, then earth would enter a tremendous cooling period that would bring back an ice age.
God didn’t make a one-way street.
and when they dont... everyone who said they would will be long dead and the new generation of climate liars will simply move the goal posts to 2200
