When scientists do such emotional, irrational things like holding funerals for glaciers, you know that person is now practicing political science.

May 2, 2021: ‘It’s like a rotting carcass of its former self’: funeral for an Oregon glacier
By Oliver Milman – UK Guardian
Worried researchers hold ceremony for Clark glacier to illustrate how the climate crisis is eroding icepacks
‘It’s like a rotting carcass of its former self’: funeral for an Oregon glacier
The funeral was a suitably solemn affair. The small casket was placed on a table covered in a black drape, a maudlin yet defiant speech quoted a Dylan Thomas poem, a moment’s silence was held. Inside the casket, however, was not a body, but a vial of meltwater from Clark glacier in Oregon, once an imposing body of ice but now a shrivelled remnant. The funeral, a stunt held by worried glacier researchers on the steps of the state capitol in Salem, illustrated how the climate crisis is rapidly gnawing away at the majestic icepacks that used to throng the mountains of the northwestern US, potentially posing a threat to the region’s water supplies.
Climate Depot Note: Anders Carlson, president of the Oregon Glacier Institute was proud of his “funeral” publicty “stunt.”
“There is just this immense sadness because we all knew it was going to be bad, but didn’t think it would be this bad,” said Anders Carlson, president of the Oregon Glacier Institute, who read the eulogy for Clark glacier at the “funeral” in October. The funeral was a suitably solemn affair. The small casket was placed on a table covered in a black drape, a maudlin yet defiant speech quoted a Dylan Thomas poem, a moment’s silence was held.

“You go back through old photographs and glaciers have disappeared just in the last 20 years – it’s really dramatic,” said Carlson, who has calculated that at least a third of the state’s glaciers named by the US government in the 1950s are now gone.

Carlson also claims 10 year tipping point! “Instead of seeing white, snow-covered mountains, we’ll see black peaks,” says Carlson. “We have a decade left before it’s basically game over.”

Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore reacted to the “funeral” for the glacier and told Climate Depot:
Moore: “The glacial melting is probably caused by all the burning and looting in Portland!
Ridiculous, a requiem for melting ice. Glaciers are not alive. Now some trees will be able to grow where the glacier had rendered the land lifeless. There is nothing “good” about glaciers except perhaps their scenic appeal. When they advance they gouge massive scars in the landscape, destroying all life before them. Would the “greens” prefer that the glaciers were advancing into what is forest and farmland today? Or do they think glaciers can just freeze in time and never shrink or advance again? Given the choice between advancing versus retreating I say let them melt in peace to expose new land for greening. Our CO2 emissions will accelerate the greening so the Earth will be more bountiful as it was before this Pleistocene Ice Age set in 2.5 million years ago, ending 250 million years of a much warmer climate during which life flourished from pole-to-pole.”

Climate alarmists meltdown over Glacier Nationlal Park
Greenland’s Glacier Grows Alarming Climate Hysterics– A screaming lack of enthusiastic media coverage regarding recent evidence that Jakobshavn, the previously fastest-flowing, fastest-thinning glacier on Greenland’s west coast, has now gone rogue. Jakobshavn has represented the largest source of periodic ice mass loss over the last 20 years, and has produced about 10 percent of the country’s icebergs.
A study published last month in the journal Nature reported, “Here we use airborne altimetry and satellite imagery to show that since 2016, Jakobshavn has been re-advancing, slowing and thickening. We link these changes to current cooling in ocean waters in Disko Bay that spill over into Ilulissat Icefjord. Ocean temperatures in the bay’s upper 250 meters have cooled to levels not seen since the mid-1980s.”
GLACIERS
Some glaciers melted faster before 2nd half of 20th century — Leading Arctic Researcher Shows That Glacial Melt Slowed Substantially Since 1952 — ‘Leading Arctic expert William Carlson said that glaciers in Norway & Alaska lost half their size during the fifty years before 1952. Had that rate of loss continued, there would have been no glaciers left in Alaska or Norway by 2002. Given that there are glaciers remaining, we can infer that the rate of ice loss was slower in 2nd half of century than it was in 1st half of century’

IPCC Caught Again! ‘Importance Of Glaciers As A Source Of Fresh Water Exaggerated, Say Austrian Scientists: ‘IPCC has also grossly exaggerated the importance of glaciers as a source of fresh water…It is an exaggeration when it is claimed that the melting of glaciers endangers the water supply of 2 billion people.’

2012: A new paper published in Quaternary Science Reviews finds that alpine glaciers in Glacier National Park, Montana retreated up to 6 times faster during the 1930’s and 1940’s than over the past 40 years. The “Multi-proxy study of sediment cores retrieved from lakes below modern glaciers supports the first detailed Neoglacial chronology for Glacier Natio
nal Park (GNP)” and shows “maximum reconstructed retreat rates [in] 1930” of about 125 meters per year, compared to near zero in ~1975 and about 20 meters/year at the end of the record in ~2005. The authors report, “Results indicate that alpine glaciers in Glacier National Park advanced and retreated numerous times during the Holocene after the onset of Neoglaciation 6,500 years before the present” and “Retreat from the Little Ice Age maximum was the most dramatic episode of ice retreat in at least the last 1000 years.”
