Yes, the ice is melting everywhere

 

After watching the NBC Nightly News tonight (August 8), which featured a story on the melting glacial ice of the Alps, I was reminded of this article, which features the melting ice of Alaska.

Alaska Will Lose 69% of Its Glacier Mass Under Current Climate Change Pledges

Consequences of the glacier mass loss include a nine-inch sea level rise and changes in biodiversity.

"Alaska, one of 19 glacier regions designated by the international team, would lose 69% of its glacier mass. Of those regions, which don’t include the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, Alaska has the third-highest glacier mass today, at 16,246 gigatons. Only the Antarctic islands/sub-Antarctic islands and northern Arctic Canada have more glacier mass."

"The team of 21 scientists from 10 countries used eight glacier models to calculate the potential ice loss of the more than 200,000 glaciers outside of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets under a wide range of global temperature scenarios relative to 2020. For each scenario, they assumed that temperatures would remain constant for thousands of years.

"Alaska, even under current climate conditions of 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit above preindustrial levels, would lose 37% of its glacier mass, the study finds. Ice loss rises under greater temperature increases: 41% lost at 2.7 degrees, 58% at 3.6 degrees, 69% at 4.9 degrees, 71% at 5.4 degrees and 80% at 7.2 degrees."

So, if the EPA is intent on repealing the CO2 endangerment finding, clearly they aren't worried about the endangered glaciers.

Like this one, which is pretty famous.
