Glacier National Park is replacing signs that predicted glaciers' disappearance by 2020
The signs in the Montana park were added more than a decade ago to reflect climate change forecasts at the time by the U.S. Geological Survey, park spokeswoman Gina Kurzmen told CNN.
The most prominent placards, at St. Mary Visitor Center, were changed last year. Kurzmen says that park is still waiting for budget authorization to update signs at two other locations. "In several decades they will be mostly gone. They will grow so small that they will disappear. They will certainly be gone before the end of the century," Dan Fagre, the study's lead scientist, had said."There are variations in the climate but it is humans that have made all those variations warmer," he said. "The glaciers have been here for 7,000 years and will be gone in decades. This is not part of the natural cycle.
