A man stops on his way to the top of what once was the Okjokull glacier, in Iceland, Sunday, Aug. 18, 2019. With poetry, moments of silence and political speeches about the urgent need to fight climate change, Icelandic officials, activists and others bade goodbye to the first Icelandic glacier to disappear. With poetry, moments of silence and political speeches about the urgent need to fight climate change, Icelandic officials, activists and others bade goodbye to what once was a glacier.
After about 100 people made a two-hour hike up a volcano, children installed a memorial plaque to the glacier, now called just “Ok,” minus the Icelandic word for glacier. “The symbolic death of a glacier is a warning to us, and we need action,” former Irish president Mary Robinson said. “We see the consequences of the climate crisis,” Icelandic Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir said. “We have no time to lose.”
Natural ebb and flow of weather cycles throughout the centuries. Such ignorant activists

Soon the earth will rid itself of human parasites. We have evolved with a faulty gene that makes us destroy what gives us life, because of greed. Obviously some, like the Koch’s, have it bad.
Losers...
200 years sounds optimistic.
mamatha_m I'll have to find my gf before the next 200 yrs to experience these melting moments!!!
JerkyTough First of many :(
💔😢😢
Too much hot air from you guys!
It makes absolutely no sense that we won’t do a better job at saving our own damn planet. This is the only habitable world we have and we need to do better.
Bull shit. We’re now down to only 11.5 years.
The green new deal now!!! Lol
And glaciers covered New England once.
Zero days to waste. IcelandUN
Hey JohnCornyn isn’t this hilarious? So funny 😂 I gotta puke 🤮 and think about how disgraceful it is you “joke” about climate crisis
Crosspatch’s stuff runs counter to the vast (97%+) majority of scientific opinion. But I’m sure he’s right.
If this doesn’t shock US into reality nothing will.
They will collectively become Greenland United
They all flew their Gulf Stream jets to mourn it im sure then stayed in 5 star luxury
200 years, optimism is big in Iceland.
Steps have to be taken soon to stop this.
Apparently realDonaldTrump and his fellow ghouls are trying to drive down the price of Iceland
Hey JohnCornyn isn’t this hilarious?
😭😭😭😭😭
Oh no!
Ridiculous people
How long did it take to melt?
Hell we will all be dead you blunders busters. 200 years? Stupid.
nerds
Now they will have to start farming, which is hard work. No wonder they are so sad and hate global warming... 😂
must have took alot of pallbearers!!!! 😳
cmarinucci
RCCatalyst Dont worry God will be here before 200 years the way its going!
All that volcanic activity.
Get back to me in 30 years. Climate runs in cycles. The glacier will be back.
How can this be when our leaders say there’s no climate change happening 😡🤦🏼♀️
That’s what happens when the Earth’s axis shifts even 1/2 degree.
This is what happens at the end of ice ages
Did they ever think that it might be the hot, volcanic vents and flows that is doing this?
That glacier has come and gone a million times dim wits.
This thread is full of crazy Americans mocking Icelanders. Newsflash, the entire world finds your climate change denial downright dangerous and creepy.
The geothermal melt off is the issue in Greenland
JimBoblif
So Sad.
It could turn into a bonus if the land is fertile

Not likely. It gets cold every winter. Ice will return. Stop drinking so much vodka(unless it is made from Maine potatoes)
TonyTh3King Glad I’ll be dead by then 😩
Im expecting a global factory reset of planet earth 🌍 within next 50 years. The eternal cleansing process of nature. Removing few million humans from the equation and starting all over again. At least that’s what I learnt from history. :)
TF it’s not a living thing. It’s ice. Solid water. Go plant some trees then.
LisaMascaro I am available to be bought by ExxonMobil
Yeah, ok.....next?
I think it’s terrible that all of these houses on the coast keep falling into the sea each day. Wait, that’s not happening anywhere? That’s odd.
Wrong, wrong, By 2032 the whole planet will be under water. All ice will melt
it was OK
So will I
PatAbernathey Start growing food.
200 years?!
So will all of us. Stop having kids and no one will care
The geologist based this off of computer models, therefore this is only a prediction.
Bill Nye?
a geologist
Shouldn’t they start thinking of an other name for their country. You can’t have Iceland without ice 🤫
so now a little pile of snow melts and thats a glacier well hell i had many of them in my yard
So trees can grow & produce oxygen? Farmers can produce vegetables? atth actual history & science
What happened now has happened before 10,000 times. Where do you think the glaciers came from to start with
This is great news. We have WAY too many glaciers
Climate cycles run every 500 years.
We’re all governed by the laws of physics. But having a climate president gives us a shot at saving the planet. Send a buck to JayInslee if you can.
Dude. It snowed in Vegas this year! Maybe in 200 years the ice masses will be stuck on the Strip!
Gee is it because in 200 years the Sun will be larger? That my friends is climate change. What egos to think man has cause all this. EnemyOfThePeople
We are the planet's disease.
😭😭😭
LOL...pathetic attempt, pathetic
matracaberg It’s probably what happens when the planet shifts out of an ice age. But what do I know.
This is terrible :( :( I bet they’ll be gone in 100 not 200 years
ITT: idiots
Total propaganda
There’s still no proof co2 is the cause. Correlation is not causation
🤬🤬🤬
Go to the SouthPole. There's RECORD ICE down there. Before the internet, we were taught that the IceCap melts in cycles due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis to the sun. This crap makes you pass UN_SDG laws that make owners billions. Look at JeffBezos. He did it.
So they’re saying ice melts? neiltyson is this scientific fact? 👨🏾🔬🧐
Funeral for whales too. WHALING COUNTRY ,😠😠😠😠
Devastating
They abort their children, and then hold a funeral for a lump of ice. Typical pagans
Ancient caveman hosts funeral as last glacier leaves NY State 10000 years ago
Can't wait to grow my oranges there
Good. Sounds like they're coming out of their own Ice Age. Imagine the fear and horror of the ancient cavemen who must've surely thought they needed to cut their carbon emissions once they observed the ice starting to melt around them.
Iceland has volcanos. The volcanoes are becoming more active warming the island. Sorry, not global warming hoax.
A lot can happen in 200’yrs! For one, I won’t be here!
LMFAO!! Too damn funny !!
We're in the middle of an ice age. Isn't that funny..
Thats it. Lets buy Iceland.
F
👇🏻
And others in Iceland are growing and expanding. It’s called nature.
Icelandic people are unusual
Right now, I’m sitting where there used to be glaciers but haven’t been for 10,000 years. I think humanity will survive.
Wow...200 years eh? Oh my gawd what are we going to do?
You guys will not buy GreenlandNewDeal therefore no wonder for the funeral 😂
Wait! Didn’t AOC say we have 12 years? Or is it 18 months to live? TrudeauMustGo TrudeauMustResign
So climate change will render Iceland's name false and Greenland's name correct. OK.
They'll be able to grow food on Iceland, what a shame. Crazy.
So now it's 200 years......at least now they have predictions that they won't be alive for.
Human overpopulation. Until we address the underlying problem, we regress rather than progress.
It's called earth-cycles. A natural phenomenon. Absolutely NOT A DAMN THING to do with man. More landmass means more plant vegetation, more animal life. Mother nature has her own rhythm. We dance to her drums, not the other way around.
mr_jettlife Koolie_T
The only problem with this story is that it is completely false. Iceland glaciers are currently expanding.
But the earth will be destroyed in 10 because of climate change, so don’t worry about those glaciers
on the plus side, it seems to have buried itself.
Fake news?
Peak Virtue signaling: funerary rites for an ice cube
Wonder if Native Americans had the same type vigil after the glaciers receded from what is now Lake Michigan?!?
And they will return as they have done millions of times in the past especially since there's been an atmosphere for 4 million years you bunch of scam artists.
