2 more glaciers gone from Glacier National Park

The park's glaciers have been slowly melting away since about 1850, when the centuries-long Little Ice Age ended. They once numbered as many as 150, and 37 of those glaciers eventually were named.

I think it's Al Gore's fault.

While it is interesting, did you read the responses down the page. I found this particularly interesting:

A Scientist's answer to whether global warming is real & is it caused by man:

...yes, it's definitely real--that fact is no longer in dispute. Although perhaps it should be called 'climate change' and not just global warming--the same phenomena that are making glaciers and icebergs melt all over the Earth are also causing some very savagely cold winters and uncontrolled flooding in spring. As to the second question, he said: We had better HOPE that humans are causing it! If humans are causing this, then there is a chance of stopping the damage. If we aren't causing it--and this is just what the planet does every, say, 5000 years or so--then there is no hope, no chance for any other outcome BUT extinction.

Would global warming really drive the human species extinct? It would cause disasters on unprecedented scale, but it would do so slowly, and we could guard against it. We'd still have our technology and could build back.

The real problem is if when the natural cycle of warming actually DOES kick in, and it's compounded by man-made climate change.

I don't know. That was really my question when I read the guy's response. Relocation comes to mind as a way of escaping anhilation. Maybe he knows something I don't.

extinction seems unlikely

and it appears the earth somewhat routinely goes through warming and cooling phases, not bad considering we're a speck of dust in the universe

It's all that bastard Obama's fault.

Global Warming is a Hoax?!

And if you don't pray every night to zombie jesus, you might be screwed if there's a god.

If you want to cut your carbon footprint and sacrifice your lifestyle to fight imaginary foes, be my guest, but don't force your religion on those of us with critical thought. Just because you're too stupid to see through the lies and data manipulation, doesn't mean the rest of are as stupid as you.

Go buy some carbon credits, you idiot

If the Earth is warming up, then it would appear that the natural cycle already has kicked in.
