People in Iceland hold funeral for a glacier

Belief in Global warming, or the now convenient ‘climate change’ catchall phrase that can cover anything, should be considered a religion.
——————
With a theme of fighting climate change, about 100 Icelanders have said farewell to what once was a glacier. Scientists said it was the first of Iceland's glaciers to disappear because of climate change.
Iceland geologist Oddur Sigurðsson declared the Okjokull glacier extinct about a decade ago. But on Sunday he brought a death certificate to the made-for-media memorial.
About 100 years ago, the glacier covered almost 6 square miles of a mountainside in western Iceland and measured more than 160 feet thick.
A plaque has been installed at the site of the former glacier, which reads: “In the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path, This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it.”

You’re giving them the publicity they are seeking. You’re now part of the process. .

Now that it's gone, we can put a Trump hotel on the site

Does this mean getting warmer or getting colder?

I'd like to know whether the glacier existed when Iceland was settled. There have been lots of examples in Europe where glaciers have retreated, revealing older settlements, houses, etc. The glaciers have expanded and retreated throughout history, without regard to CO2.

Glaciers eventually melt, or so says the Great Lakes.

Fake news there was no glacier. I learned from the female Icelandic assistant coach that Iceland is covered with green.

About as bad as Auburn crying over 2 trees. Less than you can replant a new tree. Not sure how to get the glacier back.

Glaciers have been disappearing for over 300 years.

I doubt they've noticed much of a difference.
We have a shite load of glaciers in Juneau, they've been retreating for a couple centuries. And before that, 10,000 years

Your reading comprehension is about 1/700th of normal.

That says way more about their gullibility than anything else. Glaciers have been disappearing for a couple of centuries

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.)
Liberals get proven wrong again. frick em.
