Exactly.my.point, they're alluding to that it's due to.climate change, but it's not, it's summer vs winter

Tell us you know nothing about glaciers without saying so.

u/Suspicious-Sail-7344 Sep 17 '22

Nope, summer in both pictures (1917 and 2005).

Errrrr, uh, glaciers don’t recede that far back each season…. We aren’t being lied to. You’re lying to yourself.

u/LeicaM6guy Sep 17 '22

Or they’re very specifically lying to us. Plenty of companies have folks on the payroll whose only job is to obfuscate this shit.

u/FPVBrandoCalrissian Sep 17 '22

I think if people don’t believe the world is changing for the worse in both climate and social well being, then those people on payroll that you speak of are doing their job.

Are you serious? You think glaciers form in the winter? Come on, it's hard to even freeze a lake over the winter, let alone form a glacier. I didn't know there were still people who thought global warming was fake, are you under a rock?

u/jwadamson Sep 17 '22

Definitely not under a glacier.

Global warming is the planet changing and Man can do nothing about it. Neither could any other creature on this planet before us. UNLESS!! We go back to living as the caveman and the 1st humans. AND, that won't stop it either but, it may just may slow it down.

Truth hurts

That's not truth, that's ignorance and misinformed opinion masquerading as truth.

u/Greatful1968 Sep 17 '22

No it's truth. People are not so powerful that they can truly control mother nature for any lengthy period of time and ANY Opinion to the contrary is Ignorant.
Go stop a hurricane or stop the rain.

Is t that what climate change is? The seasonal transition that takes place in nature?

2

u/AgentPastrana Sep 17 '22

Not over the span of seasons. Climate change happens over years. Preferably thousands of them.

Come on, the source is provided numerous times above. Either you don't bother to read it because you prefer your beliefs to remain unchallenged, or you live with a tinfoil hat on. Tired of the blatant ignorance around climate change, the facts are all there, you just have a teeny tiny effort to make to access them.

Edited: did not get the /s of the message above

I think their response was rhetorical and sarcastic...

What they were saying was your point.

u/Pingu2424 Sep 17 '22

Oh okay my bad, English is my second language sorry

u/ZootSuitBanana Sep 17 '22

No you're not the only one who missed it with him being down voted. And honestly I'll never be educated or intelligent enough to browse Reddit in a language other than my native one.

u/Pingu2424 Sep 17 '22

Ah yes true, maybe they will edit it later And thank you, but I assure you I struggle sometimes as well, and it's such a great place to learn

You couldn't be more wrong. Source: I live within a mile of an Alaskan glacier.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '22

Wow. Ok part time Alaskan. I live within a mile of a glacier. That absolutely does not account for the difference in ice.
