Glacier National Park is one of the few US Government organizations that hasn't backed down to political pressure about climate change. There are multiple signs in the park that say something along the lines of "See that glacier over there on the hill? Given the rate of increasing temperatures due to climate change, we expect that glacier to disappear within 20 years. Climate change is caused by humans releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere which trap heat." It made me really thankful I got to visit last year before they are all gone.

- futun 9y ago> "Climate change is caused by humans releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere which trap heat." Hmm.... Well... as positive the motivations behind that sign may be, that sentence is empirically untrue. The climate has always been changing and has never not been changing. And it has been both warmer and colder without humans. To be a scientifically valid statement it would have to say, "SOME degree of CURRENT climate change is PROBABLY caused by humans." Equating all "climate change" with AGW undermines the validity of the argument and scientists really shouldn't do it.
