<Lelsi said: I was in Chamonix, Switzerland a few years ago. Take a look
at old pictures
of Mont Blac from the 20s versus today.>
Same here in Montana at Glacier National Park. USGS web page (link below)
has historic photos. Article on front page of our paper today, robins
are moving through, weeks ahead of dates when the large groups of robins used
to appear in Missoula.
The retreat of the Glaciers in the Park as shown by these photos is
dramatic: _http://nrmsc.usgs.gov/repeatphoto/_
(http://nrmsc.usgs.gov/repeatphoto/)
Glaciers are predicted to be completely gone by 2030.
One can argue about what may be causing 'Global Warming', but its hard to
argue that its not happening when you look at something like this.
When I was growing up in my state, I never imagined I'd see a day when
Glacier Park had no Glaciers. I'm likely to witness it.
