Nitwit government bureaucrat econuts should be fired ASAP. Stop wasting taxpayers’ money pushing your scientific illiteracy and idiocy.

Maybe they actually meant their BS signs would disappear by 2020?

I’m sure they have maintenance staff that get daily cleanup assignments. Can’t they just put ‘remove glacier signs’ on Harry and Bill’s to do list next week? They’re being paid anyway. How hard can that be? Or are they giving the glaciers the rest of the year to disappear?

Most local city and county road shops have their own sign making shops. When I was Public Works Director for an eastern Washington county, we had an annual budget of $10,000 for sign making materials...

This is a pretty lame excuse by the Feds.

We were looking at flood risk maps online to figure out if we would be required to purchase expensive flood insurance on a house we are considering in Florida. A big alarming looking warning pop-up showed up repeatedly, obscuring the map multiple times saying that the Army Corps of Engineers had calculated that the Sea Level had risen 2” in the last 25 years and that this could affect the maps.

In the first place, the property we are looking at is is inland and 90 feet above sea level. In the second place, the margin of error for this historical determination is probably more than 2” . The whole format and the way it was written was blatantly making reference to “climate change”. You just can't get away from the nonsense these days.

“The new signs are going to be intentionally vaguer so they won’t have to go through this again ten years from now. They read, “When they will completely disappear depends on how and when we act. One thing is consistent: the glaciers in the park are shrinking.””

The new signs are worse than the old ones!

” depends on how and when we act”??

What I find funny is that even if the glaciers had melted as predicted, they still would have needed to change the signs anyway. You’re not going to leave “These Glaciers will be gone in 2020” signs up when the glaciers aren’t there anymore. So they should have budgeted for that long ago, maybe even had some alternate signs ready to go.

Signs pushing lies undermine confidence in government and civilization itself

EXCELLENT POINT!
