Icelandic officials, activists and others bade goodbye to what once was a glacier

OKJOKULL GLACIER, Iceland — It was a funeral for ice.

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. This was Iceland's first glacier to disappear. But Sigurdsson said all of the nation's ice masses will be gone in 200 years.

Very scary

What does algore say? Never mind. He's been wrong about everything too.

Tbey can't even get the weather right for today. How does anyone expect them to get it right 200 years from now? Have they calculated in solar flare acitvity for all that time? What about volcanoes and asteroids that have more impact then man?

And land become productive and available for agriculture

And Confederates believe ClimateChange is a hoax! Can these racists drown in their own tears yet? With Iowa flooded, some of them can. ConcentrationCampConservatives NotReallyAmerican TraitorTrumpChump DepressionDonnie

Greenland has more land and ice than Iceland. Greenland is 21 times larger than iceland to be exact. So, does that mean we have 4200yrs until Greenland loses all of it's ice masses?

.......more like 50.......but why quibble....

Unless, of course, they aren’t

Are humans destroying planets? We go from one to the next, each time we we inhabit another planet it over heats. never learn

Whew! I’m so glad that whole global warming thing is fake news, am I right? 🙄🙄🙄

You're welcome, Iceland.

Better check with narendramodi Not geologist

AOC said we only have 12 years....so which is it? Oh, BTW, 40 years ago Democrats said we were headed for a new ICE AGE..... No wonder Democrats are such a confused lot.

200 years or 200 days!.

Climate Cultists be like...

easy come easy go. In the end it don't matter much cause it will be back in 50,000 years.

Republican r significantly older than the avrge Democrat far more Repubs than Dems have died since the 2012 elections. To make matters better, the GOP cant attract new voters

Time to change the name to NomoreIceland.

Rest In Pieces

A handful of old white men, who possess more wealth than they could ever spend in 20 lifetimes, know that we are destroying our planet. They refuse to do anything out of fear they might lose some money. Literally, a mortal sin against humanity!

CnBsNana The big climate lobby melted it with blowtorches to make deniers look bad! Picking on the poor elite scientists who work for the beset upon oil companies who hardly have any money. Unfair!

PamGrier Strictly speaking, an ice-bearing peak but not a glacier:' a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight;' this was not sliding down all the time.

jackiekashian I thought this was a birds eye view of the amount of cocaine consumed in the Whitehouse since the start of the Trump administration.

MatthewACherry KEEP DIGGING .......YOU GONE FIND BLACK PEOPLE BURRIED ....LOL ...AND OIL ....KEEP DIGGING .....LOL........GOLD .......AND MINERALS ..KEEP DIGGING

Phuck all Pharaohs!

Wake up people, a changing climate is real and the evidence is all around you. The earth is organic and pollution damages the ecosystem.

Humanity has to thank all these PopulistScum ClimateChange deniers for this situation! PopulistBastards who think making money is the most important thing, way more important than environment will KILL THE PLANET! Imbeciles like JairBolsonaro & co. are DESTROYING THE WORLD!

And then they all went and talked it out with their therapist
