Not by fire, by ICE
This is a photo of my friend Jim Terrell taken on
Mt. Baker, Washington. Jim is more than six feet
tall. See the black line about six feet above his head?
That's where the snow from the winter of 1998/99
stopped melting. Above that, is snow that never
melted from the winter of 1999/2000. Why isn't
the media reporting this sort of thing?
Seeing as Alberta has been in the -3 to +9 range all week, while Ontario has been baking, I have trouble believing that our oilsands are creating global warming. Maybe Ontario is so warm because of all the hot air from Ottawa politicians? Just throwing that out there....
Then we have the alarmists!! Here's one good example.
I've been on the glacier, they show in this picture.
What you are seeing is a finger, of the glacier, NOT the main part of the glacier. The main part is over 365 sq. km. in area.
Columbia Icefield
Straddling the boundary between the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, the Columbia Icefield is the largest ice mass in North America, south of the Arctic Circle. Situated in the Canadian Rockies, this ice field covers an area of 130 square miles (365 sq. km.) and has a maximum depth of 1,200 feet (365 m), the height of the Empire State Building in New York City. The average elevation of the ice field is about 10,000 feet (3,000 m). It occupies a high, flat-lying plateau in the form of a huge massif. Its highest points are Mount Columbia at 12,284 feet (3745 m) and Mount Athabasca at 11,452 feet (3,491 m). The average snowfall across the ice field is 23 feet (7 m) per year.
Fear mongering is easy, people are sheep. The Liberals figured that out centuries ago, the Conservatives still need to learn to play on emotions, as facts are only inconvenient, not to be trusted, truths.
Truth of the Columbia Icefields, one little teeny tiny finger is melting back, because we are driving big honking, gas guzzling vehicles on that little speck of ice, what do you think is going to happen? DUH!
