GLOBAL WARMING at MENDENHALL GLACIER

I see Global Warming at Mendenhall Glacier.
Three years ago, the big rock to the right was almost entirely covered with ice. TODAY, 3 years later, that massive rock is totally exposed for the first time in thousands of years. Predictions said that Mendenhall would retreat but everyone is WORRIED BECAUSE IT IS RETREATING FASTER THAN ANY PREDICTION.

It is now Jan 23, 2012 and I was just yesterday able to get out to the Glacier. I normally have been out to the Glacier in Nov and last year, December. The end of Jan visit to the Glacier was caused by rain and above freezing temperatures - IN ALASKA, IN WINTER. This is very weird folks and it is impacting our earth.

THE GLACIAL FACE HAS TOTALLY CHANGED. Three years ago, I could ski up to it and it was chunks of ice going up 100 feet. I could ski right into the glacier. We also had some amazing ice caves, THE HUGE ICE FACES ARE GONE, Now, we have much smaller ice faces and a lot more smaller crumbled pieces in front of the Glacial Face. They are still big but not like 3 years ago.

How does this impact our world? In Alaska, we are losing our PermaFrost because of warming temperatures. This causes a release of methane gas which destroys the atmosphere. The good news is that in 15 years, the methane turns to CO2, which is less harmful but still causes warming of the planet. The more methane and CO2 released into the atmosphere, the faster the warming and the quicker we have more unpredictable weather patterns and changing of our world because the environment has been changed dramatically.

I am concerned. If you are not, I feel sorry for you. Ignoring the CO2 and Methane mess we are in now will create a less decent atmosphere for my GrandChildren and their Children. IN SHORT, THIS GENERATION OF BILLIONAIRES WOULD RATHER MAKE MONEY INDESTRUCTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT THAN HELP SUSTAIN A WORLD WHICH WILL BE HEALTHY FOR MY GRANDKIDS and beyond. Yesterday, I had a relative, say it is Jesus Warming. I SAY WHAT BULLSHIT!!! So, we have a loving father who wants to make the CO2 rates go up at massive rates JUST SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GET HIGHER MILAGE CARS AND BILLIONAIRES NEED TO TAKE DOWN MOUNTAINS TO GET TO THE COAL, which poisons the water and then fouls our air - BULLSHIT!!! A billionaire is making money - GLOBAL WARMING IS TOTALLY MAN MADE and it is done for profit. The removing oil from sand is just as bad as coal and Fracking to get oil is ruining our drinking water.

I SEE A SHRINKING GLACIER! IT IS A MAN MADE DISASTER IN THE MAKING. 98 percent of Scientists agree. The 2 percent who disagree are generally funded by the Billionaires who want to keep up their, I WANT TO CONTINUE MAKING BILLIONS SO SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING PR campaign which being effectively waged at FOX.

Just my two cents: Enjoy your day.
