Did the earths orbit change in the last century to cause 1deg C warming, I thought this took time. Glaciers in Gacier Bay Alaska are also rapidly disappearing and permafrost is melting.
What makes you think we were able measure the Earth's surface temperature to within a degree (C) a century ago?
And the left wingers will never consider the possibility that even after they melt, everything will still be fine. It's like they never seem to notice that the warmer the earth has become, the more populous and widespread mankind has become.
I don't know about you, but we seem to be doing better as a species today than we did in 1910 even after apparently 75% of the glaciers at Glacier National Park have melted.
I take it you don't live in an area that depends on glaciers for drinking water, millions of people in South America and Asia depend on it and I doubt they will be "fine".
I don’t know, man. My husband and I spent three full weeks up in Glacier just a few years ago. One day we took a long helicopter tour over the entire glacier region and honestly, there just isn’t much left. 2020 was a real stretch of a date, but I can definitely see depletion around 2030. I recommend anyone who has ever wanted to visit Glacier giddyup and do it pretty soon, because regardless of the cause, the glaciers are definitely shrinking.
Teams from Lysander Spooner University visiting the Park each September have noted that GNP’s most famous glaciers such as the Grinnell Glacier and the Jackson Glacier appear to have been growing—not shrinking—since about 2010.
Another failed prediction that was presented as fact to all who visited the park. Time to move the goalposts again.
Funny how the "science deniers" always end up being right.
