50 year old plane found in thawed glacier.

Apparently this is part of the evidence that hundreds of glaciers are thawing after thousands of years. I’m sure they are, really, I believe climate change is really… at least to some extent. But the media…LOL.

But if the glaciers are thousands of years old…then what’s a 50 year old plane doing buried in one!?

When you say “But the media LOL.” I take it Your not including the Daily Mail and GB news.

Yeah glaciers shrink and expand with the seasons and no one is claiming we haven’t had temperature fluctuations before but when you get the top ten hottest July daily temperatures in in the same year something has changed dramatically.

I'll wager it's not doing very much. 😉

Yes, if glaciers never shrank how big would they be now?

How much did that glacier “grow” in the 50 years since the plane crashed on it?

What’s happening to all the ski resorts?

I wouldn’t know about the ski resorts I’ve never holiday’d with Sunak

Shrink and expand, shrink and expand I think they should leave the plane there and see wether it stays exposed this time.
