“The glaciers shrank 40% between 1981 and 2015, largely because of human-caused global warming.

“Visitors to Washington’s Olympic mountains stand in awe of glaciers that have carved the landscape. But what tourists see today is different from 100 years ago.
And a couple of hundred years before.
What makes the now, how it must be, and, always shall be.
”Back then, Blue Glacier descended from Mount Olympus like an icy hand reaching out, over the rock. Now that hand has retreated up the mountain.
Very poetic - Did they mention that there are more trees & greenery growing - The Greens should be happy with that or do they want to destroy all life on earth?
”Early in the century, much of the melting could be attributed to natural causes. But Fountain says now carbon pollution is warming the climate, and that’s accelerating the glaciers’ retreat.
Heresay AGAIN. Opinion only. Where is the proof that is is carbon..& more importantly man made???
SO the natural causes in the early century have not STOPPED & are no longer contributing...interesting..Just man???phfftttt
””From 1981 to 2015, they shrunk about 40%,” he says.

”He says without climate action, their future looks grim. By the end of this century, he expects the glaciers of the Olympic mountains will be gone.
