The Shrinking Glaciers of Western Canada

Well, first of all, this is me, an old man of 72 going on 73. But, I'm still vertical!!

A few weeks ago I had the chance to travel to the Jasper, AB area to check out the Columbia Ice Fields and associated Glaciers in the area. Over my shoulder you can see the white, remaining bits of a Glacier which used to fill the entire valley.

Going there was a mixture of happiness and sadness. As a Geologist, I was certainly happy to see a few Glaciers. However, a lot of sadness was mixed in, because I was at this very spot about 50 years ago, as a young man, and the Glacier behind me was 3 to 4 times larger.

Does anyone believe Global Warming is not happening? If so, you better wake up and smell the coffee.
