Look at the bright side. With the glacier gone, there won't be an avalanche of ice when the "Big One" earthquake strikes the Cascades.

"It's been 323 years since the last Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. How prepared are you for the 'Big One?'"

CO2 makes your dick floppy and I can prove it. My dick worked way better decades ago before all this started. There can be no other explanation. Save your weeners, guys. Vote to protect the climate before it's too late for you too.

the planet is 4 million million years old.  it's LOL when people talk about how things were just 100 years ago as if that means anything.  would a 100 year period even register in the geologic record?

Yellowstone NP trip in 2016, the guide pointed out how a glacier on the Teton Range had been steadily shrinking, noting Ansel Adams' iconic photos circa 1950 or so.  Someone in the group of 10-15 or so grumbled, we heard something about "democrat" or "liberal", something like that.

the tour guide, talking to no one but to everyone, goes, "and for those who question it, we are free to disagree why the glaciers are shrinking, global warming, regular fluctuations in Earth's temperature, etc, but we cannot argue if the glaciers are shrinking.  we have almost 150 years of scientific data, paintings from the parks' founding, to photographs, on Yellowstone NP alone, re the glaciers that used to be here, lake levels, creeks that never appeared....
