If I like my glaciers can I keep them?

    If you bothered to look into it you would find that 81% of the Glaciers at Glacier NP are gone. I care. You don't. If you are looking for something truly funny to mock I would suggest this:

    Went up to glacier last June. Couldn't even go through as they hadn't gotten the snow removed from the going to the sun road.

    Kiss my ass.

    It snows a whole bunch every winter in Montana.

    So? The average road opening date is mid June.

    Last time we were there the road was closed because of fires.

    Well that is a lie. There are some glaciers that are 81% melted. The average glacier melt over the last 60 years is 39%. That number includes those glaciers that are 81% gone.

    Glaciers grow and recede naturally and there isn't a damn thing your or I can do about it. Ignoring history when it comes to natural climate change is not a smart thing to do.

    Dug in with the TDS rebuttal.

    I care about facts and science. You care about emotion and fear mongering.

    I was in Yellowstone in 1989 right before it exploded with fire. While there I saw some fire and the rangers I talked to told me they don’t fight the fires there unless they threaten buildings or historic sites. As it played out, there was a drought that year and winds came in an it went off to become the worst fire there ever. There was zero talk that it was climate change. It was a combination of weather, forest management, pine beetle damage and fire management practices.

    If the same thing happened today, all other reasons would take a back seat to climate change. It would be unquestioned in the media and politics. I’ve seen many in the media say with authority and unchallenged that hurricanes, fires, severe weather, floods,etc are now all caused by climate change. The fact is that climate related deaths are at an all time low. Sorry Greta, people aren’t dying or becoming extinct. I know that’s disappointing for many leftists here.

    Jerry Brown directly blamed climate change for the drought in California a few years back. When we had unseasonably wet weather last year ending the drought that too was blamed on climate change.
