I came to my own conclusion that global climate change was natural back in 2001. We were in New Zealand and were walking up a trail to see the Fox Glacier. There was a sign that said [IN 1850 THE FOX GLACIER WAS HERE] Now there was grass and bushes there. Farther on up the trail there was another sign that said [IN 1750 THE FOX GLACIER WAS HERE] More grass and bushes. We continued up the trail and eventually we got to the Fox Glacier.

On the way back down I realized that my SUV had NOT melted the Fox Glacier between 1750 and 2001. DUH! It must be natural climate change!

Speaking of glaciers, I stood on a hill in WEST TEXAS and examined huge glacial striations in the rock. A glacier had gotten that far south! We had nothing to do with the end of the ice age.

Not to be nit-picky, but if you were walking up the trail, wouldn’t you have reached the 1750 sign first? Otherwise, it implies the glacier GREW between 1750 and 1850 rather than having shrunk steadily over the centuries. Am I missing something?
