When the park was founded, there were 150 glaciers. Two more are now official gone, bringing the total to just 25. Scientists predict "Glacier National Park" will be glacier-free by 2020...

...you know... because Global Warming is a myth.

1. What's scary is that we are actually able to VISUALLY witness major geoglobal phenomenon.

That's what's freaking me out. The change is so acute that it's happening within a human LIFETIME.

2. visited there last year - so glad we did

It is a beautiful place to hike and to simply sit on the balcony and enjoy the scenery.

The Canadian side is a must-see as well. Not nearly as built up as the U.S. side.

It is certainly sad that the glaciers are going.

3. But it was snowing in Washington DC this year? I thought that meant

that warming was a myth?

4. You're right

and plus fox news says that global warming is a hoax. What more accurate source of information is there than fox news? They even say they're fair and balanced so it must be true.

5. Glacier is really spectacular I'm glad I saw it in '07

We hiked up to Grinnell Glacier which is the one in the release picture but is still present. It was obviously melting and almost gone. I'd strongly recommend a trip to Glacier if you have never seen it.
