I agree and I'd hope to see the information tweaked based on latest research, which is what they're doing. Hope other spots with similar plaques and signs follow suit. Just so skeptics have less to argue with, not just entering the park and going 'Ha, see, signs in this place are wrong so, clearly, climate science is wrong.' Yes, true, our estimates are changing on the regular but that's better than just pretending like the problem doesn't exist or hoping it's small. Even if they change signs to read 'will melt in 2050', that's still terrifying. So I do hope they put up new data soon.

It's not a question about whether climate science is wrong. There are plenty of observations that are pretty well established. The problem is that the media only portraits the most catastrophic of the claims. But a lot of climate science is speculation not a demonstration and we have to be much better at calming down and looking at different things with different certainties rather than just claiming the sky is falling. Even the IPCC report is scaling back on some of the more alarmist rethoric. There isn't to my knowledge any scientifically demonstrated consequences of climate change we don't know how to deal with. That should be a good thing yet somehow we've end up in trench wars.
