Glacier National Park Quietly Removes Its ‘Gone by 2020’ Signs

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.

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.

LOL... That's why those signs were removed this summer... I live up here and work with many of those people and they tell me they were forced to put them up as a scare tactic.. Now that the lies have been exposed they want no part of this lie.

Melting Glaciers - Glacier National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

In 1966, the park had 35 named glaciers large enough to be considered active. By 2015, only 26 named glaciers remained. The average area reduction was 39 percent, though some lost as much as 85 percent. This trend of glacier retreat is expected to continue as temperatures rise.

As usual you present a very short history, to make misleading conclusions. Lets try the entire interglacial period instead:

"At the Last Glacial Maximum (approximately 20,000 years ago), GNP was almost entirely encased in ice, with glaciers filling mountain valleys and extending onto the plains (Carrara, 1989). All but the tallest peaks were covered by glaciers. Geologic evidence suggests that by approximately 11,500 years ago, the GNP landscape was nearly ice free (Porter and others, 1983). Lake sediment records suggest that, since approximately 6,500 years ago, small glaciers have been present and active (Munroe and others, 2012).Comprehensive mapping of glacial moraines (fig. 3) indicates that there were 146 small mountain glaciers in GNP at the Little Ice Age glacial maximum near the mid-19th century (Fagre and Martin-Mikle, 2019). Since then, every glacier has decreased in area (Fagre and others, 2017). The rate of retreat, however, is not uniform across GNP glaciers, likely because of variations in glacier geometry, elevation, ice thickness, wind effects on snow, snow avalanches (fig. 4), and shading (Florentine and others, 2018)."

Wierd how much if it melted 50 years. Especially if it took 20,000 to get that size.

What a liar you continue to be. No, most of the glacier had not melted by 1900;

Retreat of Glaciers in Glacier National Park

In Glacier National Park (GNP) some effects of climate change are strikingly clear. Glaciers are melting, and many glaciers have already disappeared. The rapid retreat of these small alpine glaciers reflects changes in recent climate as glaciers respond to altered temperature and precipitation. It has been estimated that there were approximately 150 glaciers present in 1850, around the end of the Little Ice Age and most glaciers were still present in 1910 when the park was established. In 2015, measurements of glacier area indicate that there were 26 remaining glaciers larger than 25 acres, the size criteria used by USGS researchers to define a glacier.

It was once a thickly covered with ice for more than 70,000 years, the final glacial MAXIMUM was right at the ending of the Glaciation phase, 20,000 years ago.

You missed this part, that indicate that losing them all doesn't cause any catastrophe to the region:

It is no surprise it has been melting back since the mid 1800's. There is no valid reason to worry over the diminishing ice fields since having them gone means more food for the animals of the region. It was once covered in a thick ice sheet, bad for the region and far less food for the animals.

You have yet to show why losing small glacial ice in Montana is bad to life in the region......, have you been at Mt Rainier, where it is well covered with mountain destroying glaciers? the largest ice field in the lower 48 states......

How many of those glaciers even existed, and how large do you suppose those glaciers were prior to the onset of the little ice age....which the earth is still warming out of? Keep in mind that the present is the coolest period of the past 10,000 years with the exception of the little ice age.
