Get used to the funeral pyre, it will be lit with the death of all glaciers. We know we are entering a Permian event here on earth. In two generations, glaciers will become a legend. Creepy as hell if you ask me. Change the face of the planet so, and no consuquences?

macdac I cry over every dinosaur bone I see.... This is so tragic!

akornblatt Oh my gosh! It is not a living thing! Frozen water will freeze again- the climate is forever changing since God created earth...CLIMATE WILL AKWAYS CHANGE! We need more CO2 not less! It feeds the plants under this dome we live in, the plants give us oxygen so we can breathe! FE

They would steal the pennies off a corpse’s eyes I’ve never ever seen such robbing bastards. The glacier probably died after being mugged by them.

🤦‍♂️

In the ice age I don't believe they freaked out because the global warming look where we are today. If there wasn't change we would not be here today this makes no sense. One scientist will say this do you concur yes well then it's fact science is not God

And the right wing will be triggered and throwing tantrums in 3 2 1...(as soon as the death capitalists wake up)

There’s like 45 people there...

Honestly this type of concern I care about thesigns MYLIFEBEEN JUSDIFFERENT💯🌍❤

Obituary for an Icelandic glacierA plaque placed on Sunday commemorates Okjokull glacier, which was officially declared dead in 2014. The Earth has spent the majority of its existence ice free. Ice actually seems to be an anomaly caused by a change in climate some 36 million years ago (for Antarctica) and about 2.7 million years for the Arctic A glacier is not a living thing, it is a physical phenomenon. The processes which formed have repeated themselves many times during the Pleistocene. However, this item on the one o'clock news was hardly an objective one. Plaques are as easy to synthesize and Global Warming hysteria.

Theresa Villiers: If we really want to fight climate change we need a national food strategyWe can lead the way when it comes to global ambitions, but central to that is the need to rethink our relationship to waste and land use How about waking up to reality instead We could raise more cows and other livestock that fertilize the soil on one piece of land and grow crops that turn carbon dioxide into oxygen on another and rotate them every year so the livestock will always have green pastures to graze in and the plants will have fertile soil. Solved: Go vegan.

Five ways farmers are tackling climate changeFarms are on the front line of climate change - vulnerable to extreme weather events - so farmers are coming up with new and surprising ways of tackling the problem. Isn't there EU funding for support? Yes there is. Oh wait..... I wish you’d list every way that the government is not tackling the climate emergency. Maybe the daft twats should be farming rather than worrying about something we can do sod all about
