Climate Change in Action: Montana’s Famous Glaciers are Melting

From Al Jazeera:

In the US state of Montana, the Glacier National Park - an area sometimes called the “Crown of the Continent” - is famous for its snow-capped mountains.

But it could soon lose its glaciers due to global warming.

Scientists warn if the ice keeps melting at this rate, the park’s 25 remaining glaciers could all melt away by the year 2030.

The US Geological Survey covers the science of Montana’s melting glaciers here. CNN has previously called them, “The poster child for climate change.”
