“Ok (Okjokull) is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path,” said the inscription on the plaque written by Icelandic author Andri Snaer Magnason.

200 years?,hey bud,AOC is the expert on climate change.

These people are idiots. Last month marks the first month Okjokull glacier was put on Wikipeda. There is no listing anyplace else I can find. It's also not on Google maps.

I wonder if they're going to mark the funeral of my ice maker when it brakes?

How did people feel back then when the glacier was getting larger?

It was called “The Little Ice Age” and we’re still emerging from it.

I planted memorials on Antartic shelfs Larsen A and Larsen B and now I can’t find them. I need a Go-Fund-Me campaign so I can find my dear memorials.

Old glaciers never die; they just dribble away.

Just for the images of glacial growth versus stated decline.

Where I live was once covered by a Glacier two miles deep. You can’t find any trace of it today. It disappeared long before man could have had any part in its demise.

Shouldn’t they put the marker a few thousand miles tothe South. That’s how far they went down during the ice age.

Trump should buy Iceland as well. Might as well buy up the entire block, glaciers and all.

Talk about being messed up...they are crying over lost ice but since prenatal screening tests were introduced in Iceland in the early 2000s, the vast majority of women -- close to 100 percent -- who received a positive test for Down syndrome terminated their pregnancy.


Here is Agusta, age 7. On average, Iceland has two people with Down syndrome born each year.

10,000 years ago that area was under one mile of ice and no one said a thing about the first 5,279 feet melting
