While predictions of them being gone were off, they are still shrinking.
It's what they do, quite literally.

Glaciers are always moving, not necessarily shrinking.

Not only is the date very incorrect as already proven, the "man made climate change" statement is a guess.
I'm pretty well entrenched on the left now-a-days and I couldn't agree more with this. Anthropogenic climate change is far from fact and should not be on this type of informational material. I think the current "climate change" we are going through is probably 97% natural cycle and 3% human induced. But yes the climate is changing as is always does, period.

Leftists thought they would be in total control by now.

This link has multiple pictures from the same location with a slider to compare 1910s to current day. Pretty clear shrinkage.

When/if they do disappear, the melt will still not be as big as the current one from the Gumps.

In 2017, a study released by USGS and Portland State University said that in the past half century, some of the ice formations in Montana had lost 85% of their size and the average shrinkage was 39%
And if the average loss is 39% and some have lost 85% then some formations have lost???? And when I think of the massive human element contributing to formations in....Montana? Jesus H.
As Global Temperatures rise and remain steady ice melt will increase. You now have a higher average temp affecting these areas so this is common sense. But this would happen anyways without the human element. Because we are coming out of an ice age.

The glaciers aren't gone, but I would like to know what percentage have they shrunk over the past century or so.

The weather this winter has been unseasonably warm. It’s been snow mix and raining all last week and this week here and I’m 20 minutes from Glacier Park’s west entrance. It’s brown in the valley, when usually we have a steady foot on the ground by now.
Granted we are only at 3100 feet. People are complaining about the weather, but I’m taking advantage of it by winter hiking/summiting in January.

Just yet another fail of liberal politics.
I don't think there's any way I could be a liberal. Just way too much losing. I don't like to lose.

Funny thing is democrats blame republicans for using scare tactics, when they're the ones doing it 95% of the time.
Typical of hypocritical liars I guess.

Other than sea levels rising, what’s the big deal? It’s not like we have to be worried about Wooly Mammoths. Those coastal elites are worthless anyway.

Ok enlighten me then. What would these formations be in Montana if their was no human element?

Their answer is on the sign.
How does the earth come out of an ice age? It starts to warm right? And this started in 1850.
I'm not saying man made climate change is fact or fiction but there was none that we know of in 1850. Joe Rogan Podcast - Randall Podcast
If you want to listen to an actual independent on climate, listen to this. It's fricking awesome!!
