> Keep in mind that glaciers always melt. And cause landslides. And new ones form. Been happening for millions of years. Keep this in mind, from the article: > Scientists say the slides will most likely continue as warming temperatures cause more glacial melt. Also, keep in mind that mussel shells were 27% thicker in 1970 than they are now, due to ocean acidification. Keep in mind we just came out of a streak of the 12 hottest months on record, and, lest we feel complacent, that's only because the 13th month was the second hottest on record. Keep in mind that we're about 4 years away from having no glaciers in Glacier National Park. In the completely neutral spirit of keeping things in mind, keep all those things in mind, too. As a matter of fact, I recommend to you, and to everyone here, go online and find climate-related things to keep in mind. Thank you for your concern.

"Keep in mind we just came out of a streak of the 12 hottest months on record" Keep in mind that "on record" covers less than an eyeblink, geologically speaking, and that we have evidence that the earth has been both much warmer and much colder than it is now. Not just millions of years ago, either. On the warm side, the Vikings had dairy farms in Greenland, some of which are only now emerging from the ice. That's only 1,000 years ago, and the temperatures were clearly warmer than they are now (not only are there no dairy farms in Greenland today, but quite obviously the farms were not frozen in the ice when they were in operation). http://naturalhistory.si.edu/vikings/voyage/subset/greenland/archeo.html http://naturalhistory.si.edu/vikings/voyage/subset/greenland... On the cold side, most of the American Midwest and central Canada was covered in several miles of ice as recently as 11,000 years ago.
