…is a horrible fossil fueled vehicle causing hot and cold, you might just be a Warmist
The blog of the day is 90Ninety Miles From Tyranny, with a post on the Warmist failure at Glacier National Park.

Just the latest false prognostication by the Cult of Climatology. That makes their predictions 1,234 wrong and 0 correct. Keep up the good work ya science liars.
Kye,
Limbaugh: “The glaciers are not melting, and they’re not getting smaller. The glaciers are growing.”
How do you square Limbaugh’s claims with the actual data (see USGS data, below)? Maybe he was looking at data between a summer minimum area and a winter maximum??
Do you think all/much the USGS data is “fudged”? Cherrypicked?
Do you trust Limbaugh more than you trust the USGS? Who is lying?
Glacier areas increase when more snow falls than melts. They decrease when more melts than falls.
They aren’t “Limbaugh’s claims” they are his observation based on the FACT the officials at Glacier National Park are removing the signs that said differently. But to answer about whether or not the USGS “fudged” the numbers, why not? They do it all the time. They cook the books and create “models” with no relationship to reality. Remember the “Hockey Puck”? Do you believe everything the government puts out? Especially when they’re dealing with the cash cow they have going with the Cult of Climatology.
I’m no expert on glaciers and I’m sure you’re not either but when the park takes down the signs specifically stating the glaciers will “disappear by 2020 or 2030” they must have their reason and I’m sure it’s not Rush Limbaugh. Something changed their minds, maybe even a “revised” USGS.
Once again the problem here is the left spent 20 years politicizing the climate so now I don’t care any more. If the climate is changing I have enough faith in American ingenuity and scientific and technical talent to cope with those changes as they occur. Anything beyond that is hysteria as far as I’m concerned.
Without a doubt, there are SOME glaciers that are melting. But that is because they exist in places that are above freezing most of the year, not because of a theorized 2 degree shift in the past 100 years.
A fine selection so far this week, Teach! Very pretty girls.
BTW, with all due deference to Professor Rush Limbaugh, a brilliant man and respected scientist*, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) disagrees.
Rush said: “The glaciers are not melting, and they’re not getting smaller. The glaciers are growing.”
The USGS said: “In 2017, the USGS published a time series analysis of the glacier margins of the named glaciers of Glacier National Park . The areas measured are from 1966, 1998, 2005 and 2015/2016, marking approximately 50 years of change in glacier area. Scientists used aerial photography and satellite imagery to measure the perimeters of the glaciers in late summer when seasonal snow had melted to reveal the extent of the glacial ice. The data table shows that all glaciers have been reduced in area since 1966 with some glaciers having been reduced by as much as 85% by 2015. The average area reduction over the approximately 50-year period is 39%.”
