Montana Glaciers Still Thriving Despite Warnings Of Them Melting By 2020
8 Comments / By Shay Bottomley / July 1, 2024

It’s 2024, meaning it’s four years since the glaciers in Montana were supposed to have melted.

A historic photo from Glacier National Park on the Canada-United States border highlights a claim that the glaciers “will be all gone by the year 2020”.

“The small alpine glaciers present today started forming about 7,000 years ago and reached their maximum in size and number around 1850, at the end of the Little Ice Age,” the sign claimed. “They are now rapidly shrinking due to human-caused climate change. Computer models indicate the glaciers will be all gone by the year 2020”. Spoiler alert: they’re still there.


The post by the X account @EndWokeness prompted debate among social media users, with some calling climate change “a hoax”.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Sure,they are melting. Most alpine glaciers do.

But they accumulate ice through snowfall at higher altitudes faster (and advance), at roughly equilibrium (remain fairly consistent in their position at the lower end), or melt faster than they accumulate at altitude (when the face of the glacier retreats up the valley it has carved). It's a dynamic system, even when it seems to be sitting still.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
