Worldwide glacier recession is well documented (1,2) and varied model projections suggest that certain studied GNP glaciers will disappear in the next few decades, between 2030 (3) to 2080 (4). USGS scientists in Glacier National Park are collaborating with glaciologist from Alaska and Washington and using emerging technologies to understand glacier-climate interactions to advance the understanding of alpine glaciers. By providing objective scientific monitoring, analysis and interpretation of glacier change, the USGS is helping land managers make well informed decisions regarding Park management.View attachment 297926
All the signs had to be removed because.. the glaciers are still there..... and GROWING!
Glacier National Park Quietly Removes Its ‘Gone by 2020’ Signs

Retreat of Glaciers in Glacier National Park
That is the date I have seen predicted for decades. Either that sign is photoshopped, or someone was not quoting the scientists.
Temperatures in North America have been rising since the end of the Little Ice Age, for over 150 years, which means those glaciers have been melting rather than growing for over 150 years. Well, until recently anyway, since they appear to be growing now.
You AGW chicken littles don’t seem to understand that the more your predictions fail, the more credibility you lose. I suspect at this rate, by 2030 people would doubt you if you told them the sun would rise in the East tomorrow.
The reality is there is not a single significant prediction of impending doom from global warming alarmist that has come to pass, and the failed predictions continue to clutter the archives.
