CNN)The signs at Glacier National Park warning that its signature glaciers would be gone by 2020 are being changed.

The signs in the Montana park were added more than a decade ago to reflect climate change forecasts at the time by the US Geological Survey, park spokeswoman Gina Kurzmen told CNN.

But the glacier warning isn't being removed entirely, she told CNN. Instead, the new signs will say: "When they will completely disappear depends on how and when we act. One thing is consistent: the glaciers in the park are shrinking.

Anyone remember 1970s In Search Of...with Leonard Nimoy? I don't care of that dates me I loved that show as a kid.

The Coming Ice Age - 1978

That didn't go well.

Trump should issue an executive order that they stay, and have the metal stamped with a message that tells what date they were put up.

[TribalPrincess2U]

they didn’t add due to hot volcanoes!

I have a book published by the Parks Service in the 1980’s stating that the glaciers have been shrinking for many decades as a result of natural shifts in the regional climate.

Don’t take them down, add a I’m with Stupid sign next to it.

Heck, just get a sharpee and change the 2 to a 3.
And then when 2030 comes around, and the glaciers are still there (or larger), change the 3 to an 8. Save some bucks ...

And by the way, since the Ice Age ended millenniums ago - shouldn't the glaciers be retreating? Haven't they overstayed their welcome? Send Greta out there, with her flame-thrower, to put those slothy glaciers in their place.

I loved that show!

Leonard turned me on to the Oak Island mystery when I was 13.

Always fascinated by it.

And we can’t beat the Soviet Russians, either.

Equivocated much
What will you do on 10 years when they expand...?

[the OlLine Rebel]

I loved In SearchOf...

Weird music for weird stories! I don’t recall this episode though.

[A_perfect_lady]

Probably just going to replace them with ones that say 2030.

[Fiddlstix]

Yes. I recall those words too from our “enlightened media” of the time.....

You might think the Earth Ends Tomorrow crowd would reevaluate their data?

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