"The centerpiece of the visitor center at St. Mary near the east boundary is a large three-dimensional diorama showing lights going out as the glaciers disappear. Visitors press a button to see the diorama lit up like a Christmas tree in 1850, then showing fewer and fewer lights until the diorama goes completely dark. As recently as September 2018 the diorama displayed a sign saying GNP’s glaciers were expected to disappear completely by 2020.
"But at some point during this past winter (as the visitor center was closed to the public), workers replaced the diorama’s 'gone by 2020' engraving with a new sign indicating the glaciers will disappear in 'future generations.'
"Almost everywhere, the Park’s specific claims of impending glacier disappearance have been replaced with more nuanced messaging indicating that everyone agrees that the glaciers are melting. Some signs indicate that glacial melt is 'accelerating.'
"...some of the most famous glaciers in the park have actually grown in the last decade: 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. (The Jackson Glacier—easily seen from the Going-To-The-Sun Highway—may have grown as much as 25% or more over the past decade.)"

less than decades ago, and undoubtedly will someday be more than today. That's the funny thing about change.
Priorities man!
Of course, there are probably a lot more who got nothing out of it.

My next foray may be the spring game.
Okie is full of red necks, black ice and twisters, but nuttin like that.
Buddy of mine went to Northwestern. Some great stories about the lake wind when you are completely pissed up to yer gills.
I'm thinking about attending the Army-Navy Game this year or the next. Too bad they don't have that game in October...or in St. Petersburg, FL.
Well worth the trip to see it.
I actually traipsed out to the Navy game in November for the pageantry of it. Wasn’t disappointed.

Just because they aren't gone by 2020 might not mean that global warming is a hoax.
Some possibilities:
- Natural Global Warming (NGW)...I think we all agree this is happening...and that it has happened in the past many times, in a cyclic manner, after extended periods of natural global cooling (e.g., ice ages). Humanity developed civilization at the peak of one of these cycles, and if those cycles continue, global cooling would be very bad for humanity. We are a warm weather species, like most biologically complex species.
- NGW with human contribution, but insignificant contribution (e.g., 99% natural, 1% man...or whatever...you get the point)
- NGW with significant human (anthropogenic) contribution (N&A-GW) which is reversible
- N&A-GW which is harmful to humans (HN&A-GW)
- HN&A-GW which is apocolypitic (AHN&A-GW)
- AHN&A-GW, but still donate to the Democrat Party to redistribute wealth anyway (AHN&A-GW...bsdttDPtrwa)
There are many levels of claims out there regarding GW, and when the crazy ones like AHN&A-GW...bsdttDPtrwa are shown to be problematic, you can't just fall back to the one everyone agrees upon (NGW) to bolster the attempt to push the crazy ones.
Part of the problem is the loose terminology that is used in this debate. Does GW mean NGW? N&A-GW? or AHN&A-GW...bsdttDPtrwa? The answer depends on which stage of the argument you are in...the hook phase, or the donation/voting phase. This is where claims of hoax come in, because the proponents play games with the words they are using (and I concede that sometimes they don't even know they are doing it).
Scientific arguments are made at the NGW and AGW levels, but political arguments (which are open to debate) are made at higher levels. The Left likes to pretend the higher levels are scientifically based, but they are not.
The other problem is the outrageous claims made in support of a normal thing...that encourages people to call into question even normal things, like NGW...which is a mistake, but which is understandable given how the Left behaves on this issue. The removal of the signs at the park doesn't mean there is no NGW, but it does mean the alarmism intended to secure power for the Dems is in question.
The sea water is gonna kill us all after the illegal alien invasion completely changes the nation.
Please.
