    I've spent 10 summers traveling in Canada's 'outback' via paddling trips, sailboat, mtn bike, and backpack. It is truly an amazing place. I love our northern neighbor.

    According to the climate change skeptics this is all totally normal this happens every year
    Even when their neighbourhoods catch on fire from extreme heat waves they still think everything is totally fine.

    It has been melting for thousands of years . Would you like it to start growing again ? because it will never be static and if it does grow again you know what that would do for the climate . Forget about having a spring or summe just one long endless winter .

    Every time we talk about climate change why not talk about the major contributing factors: fossil fuels.

      @D Are you doing anything to help with those "actual problems"?? In this day and age we need to get better informed about the rapid changes going on in the world right now. Global warming is already shaping the world faster then was imagined as recently as a decade ago.
      But if you aren't paying attention then you won't see what is going on with our warming climate.

    We'd better learn how to capture the runoff before it all goes to the sea... And it's not an "endangered species" -- it's a field of ice that's melting. And it's only a few hundred years old, as in, formed during the little ice age. That's long over, so now it's going away. Meanwhile, the Mt. St. Helens glacier is growing...

    Ya, this happens a lot in the cycle of a 4.5 billion year old planet. Twice has frozen completely over, just a ball of ice in space. Lots of times not even ice on the poles. That just plain life on a living planet. Nothing new at all.

      If there were any people back then they would have been destroyed by that ice over Pete. But now it is warming that is happening and it is happening very quickly. 1.2 C in barely 150 years is not much time at all.

      There were only 6 scientific papers talking about an ice age in the 70’s, 55 talked about global warming, but an ice age is sexier so you heard more about the, that’s all. The ice age papers weren’t wrong per se as they discussed pollution particulates reflecting the suns rays cooling the planet. The clean air acts of the 70’s removed this risk. Your welcome.
