I hate when a glacier falls on me.

You know....eighty years ago, you probably wouldn’t have found more than 5,000 Americans who’d ever stepped on or near a glacier.

Today, I bet there are 5,000 Americans a week who go looking for glaciers.

Still, it’s likely that people visiting glaciers may not anticipate consequences quite as immediate as dislodged half-ton chunks of ice. The growing risks to travelers on melting glaciers are cruel reminders of all the smaller-scale and sometimes unpredictable damages climate change can inflict—even in the places where its broadest impacts are most visible.

Right, because a glacier isn't a flowing river of ice and pieces NEVER broke off till desperate libs invented this scam.

The organization has added more warning signs and tries to remind people that glaciers can be dangerous, she says: “There are trails that go up to the toe of the glacier … but you know, people can’t resist scrambling up the sides..."

In other words, people get hurt when they ignore danger signs. Glaciers have been calving since the first one formed millions of years ago. The only difference today is we have people stupid enough to stand under them.

We lived in Juneau for 25 years, two miles from the Mendenhall Glacier. If you've taken a cruise up the Inside Passage, and a tour bus to that particular glacier, you passed by our house and probably didn't honk or wave.
Most folks with any common sense know that standing beneath the face of ANY glacier, summer or winter, is a really bad idea.

A good portion of what is today North America was once covered by five miles of glaciers.

Those that support the idea of man caused climate change please explain what happen to these glaciers?

In 2009, for instance, two brothers crossed a safety barrier on New Zealand’s Fox Glacier and were buried ...

It’s not an increase in global warming causing these deaths, it’s an increase in stupid.

“a woman visiting Alaska was crushed by a 1,000-pound chunk of ice”

You know that had to be a bloody mess.

Because glaciers have ever been known to melt before?

I am still baffled why you post all this propaganda shit. I mean, we know already. You dont have to post 10 pro global warming articles a day anymore. I doubt you are a troll, but you would not be any less effective as one if it was your intention to spew this propaganda on FR daily.

I have no clue why you keep doing the bidding of the zcimate Alarmists by posting this shit here CONSTANTLY.

Why? What are you trying to prove? Do you think we dont get it by now after your first 1,000 pro global warming articles.

How about just posting the anti-alarmist articles insteat of helping them make their argument here day after day after day after day after day.

Gife it a rest already. We dont need another 1000 pro global warming alarm articles to get the point.

WE GET IT ALREADY.

Sheesh!

We are in an interglacial period, and incredibly, this one is cooler than the last, in spite of Al Gore emitting CO2 with his SUVs, private jets, and gluttony.

As most of us who are in our 50s and beyond can remember, the last climate scare was that there was going to be another ice age. Pollution was said to be the cause of that crisis as well. Pollution was keeping the suns rays from warming the planet.

The glaciers near where we live were all growing at that time. I had a science teacher who took students up to Mt. Rainier every summer to map out how much closer the Carbon Glacier was getting to once again swallowing up the area where our fine city sat.

I went up there three years in a row, but none of us ever were stupid enough to stand in front of the glacier. There was constant ice and giant rocks falling off of it. We did hike up and walk out on it a ways a mile or two back from the edge, but even that was dangerous because crevices were constantly opening up during the summer.
