More details about
last month's article
about the quiet
removal of signs
claiming glaciers
at Alaska's Glacier
National Park
would be "gone by 2020"

The leftists are upset
because climate change
skeptics found and
publicized yet another
of their (always) wrong
climate predictions.
With 0% accuracy,
their climate prediction
errors are legendary !
Glacier National Park
officials quietly removed
(glaciers) "gone by 2020"
signs -- embarrassing,
inaccurate predictions,
typical of climate alarmists.
The very large
three-dimensional
diorama at the
St. Mary visitor center
used to invite visitors
to press a button.
The display lit up
like a Christmas tree
for the year "1850",
then faded to dark
for the year "2020"
as all glacier indicator
lights went out.
Last year the diorama
displayed a painted sign
stating that GNP’s glaciers
were expected to entirely
disappear by 2020.
Those meltdown forecasts
had received lots of Obama
Administration media
attention, and the predictions
were repeated in The New York
Times, National Geographic, etc.
Not reported by the media:
The "gone by 2020" claims
quietly disappeared
last winter at a time
when the GNP visitor center
was closed to the public.
Workers replaced the
"gone by 2020" engraving
with a new sign saying
the glaciers will be gone
in "future generations."
Park Service claims of
glacier disappearances
were removed, or replaced,
throughout GNP,
with assurances that
“everyone agrees
glaciers are melting";
and that this ominous
trend is "accelerating."
Two large steel trash cans
at the Many Glacier Hotel,
with "before and after"
engravings, depicting
significant shrinkage
of the Grinnell Glacier
between 1910 and 2009,
quietly disappeared.
The National Park Service
at GNP still displays
black-and-white photos
of glaciers
from the 1920s,
with photos of
the same glaciers
taken in more
recent years,
showing the glaciers
had shrunk.
But glaciers grow and
shrink every year.
Not explained is that glaciers
tend to grow for nine months
each winter, and melt for
three months each summer.
So any photo displays,
that do not show the
precise calendar dates,
may be very deceptive.
Photos could be
taken in two
different months
of the same year
and then used as
climate propaganda.
Annual September
Lysander Spooner
University research
team visits report
that the park’s
most famous glaciers,
the Grinnell Glacier
and Jackson Glacier,
have been growing
since 2010, not shrinking.
A display at the Jackson
Glacier overlook along the
Going-To-The-Sun Highway
has two glacier photos:
One showing the glacier in 1911;
and the other showing the glacier
in 2009, perhaps 10-20% smaller.
But those photos ignore
the fact that Jackson Glacier
has grown 25%, or more,
since the 2009 photo.
No mainstream media source
has exhibited any interest
in the growth of GNP glaciers
over the past ten years.
