The telling tale of Glacier National Park’s ‘gone by 2020’ signs

The latest poor saps to join the oops club are the authorities in charge of Montana’s Glacier National Park. For years they’ve been warning on their visitor signs that their main attraction, the glaciers, would be “gone by 2020.” Instead, it’s those misleading signs that have had to go, because 2020 has now arrived and those pesky glaciers, all 29 of them, remain stubbornly unmelted by climate change.

I hope they rehang them in their visitor center with an essay on ways to be an idiot.

They should leave them up as an example of climax hoaxes of the past.

and the RATS, take another one in the.........HA ha!!!

[House Atreides]

We need to establish a MUSEUM OF CLIMATE HOAX ARTIFACTS. These signs would make a nice exhibit,

[teeman8r]

Repost them with dry erase boards and write in numbers as they wish

Wow, I thought at first the guy had been accosted by a bunch of Rex Stout fans!

Maybe the park ranger tasked with signage wasn’t very good at math and left off a zero on the far right side of ‘2020’

Its signs will now say: “When they [the glaciers] will completely disappear depends on how and when we act. One thing is consistent: The glaciers in the park are shrinking.”

During an inter-glacial period? Holy Holocene, Batman, say it ain't so!

And new signs:

“The idiot who said the glaciers would he gone was fired in 2020”.

ManPig says buy more postcards...

“climax hoaxes”

Like the lady who fakes it?

[GOPJ]

I hope they rehang them in their visitor center with an essay on ways to be an idiot.

Or they could have a museum of 'science' hoaxes... peak oil, killer bees, population bomb - mass starvation by the 1990's... There's 41 in total from the early 60's to now.

They’re like Barbra Streisand, who’s been on her farewell tour since 1978.

[scrabblehack]

Leave them up until at least November:

CAESAR: The ides of March are come.
Soothsayer: Ay, Caesar; but not gone.

[Chode]

100%

[upchuck]

Of course!

They need to stay so people can learn from them.
