www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49345912Mourners have gathered in Iceland to commemorate the loss of Okjokull, which has died at the age of about 700.
The glacier was officially declared dead in 2014 when it was no longer thick enough to move.
What once was glacier has been reduced to a small patch of ice atop a volcano.
Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir, Environment Minister Gudmundur Ingi Gudbrandsson and former Irish President Mary Robinson attended the ceremony.
After opening remarks by Ms Jakobsdottir, mourners walked up the volcano northeast of the capital Reykjavik to lay a plaque which carries a letter to the future.
"Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as glacier," it reads.
"In the next 200 years all our main glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done.
"Only you know if we did it."

Who thinks this is a good idea? Honest question: who/which corporations benefit most from this? All of this stupidity in the name of rolling back initiatives just because they were begun by President Obama. If that doesn't scream "infantile," I'm not sure what does.

Maybe 1979 and/or Elvado can help the rest of us understand this.

Fox News loses all credibility, if it ever had some.

Fox News loses all credibility, if it ever had some. Meanwhile, this is happening to a great city in the historically red state of Texas where a good chunk of their viewers reside... www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Repeat-flooding-has-residents-asking-Is-Houston-14456965.phpHarvey was the third “500-year” rain event to hit Southeast Texas in three years. This week, Tropical Storm Imelda also earned that distinction, as some areas received more than 40 inches of rain, paralyzing the area as highways morphed into parking lots and first responders performed more than 2,000 rescues Thursday alone. And many residents are now asking themselves: Is Houston worth it?

Hot, cold, storms, hurricanes, nothing to see here.
