Grinnell Glacier has grown since 2008 – Video

Another Inconvenient Truth. 

On September 16, 2017, Roger Roots, J.D., Ph.D., led a Lysander Spooner University hike to Grinnell Glacier.

When Root compared photos that he took of the glacier to images taken at the glacier’s lowpoint in 2008, it appears that the glacier has grown since that time.

Roger Roots at the Many Glacier Hotel inside Glacier National Park, Sept. 17, 2017. Roots led a Lysander Spooner University hike to Grinnell Glacier the day earlier where he took pictures of the Grinnell Glacier. It appears that the Glacier has grown slightly since its lowpoint around 2008.

We’ve been told that glaciers in Glacier National Park are melting rapidly, and that they may soon be gone (presumably because of man-made global warming).

The Park Service has even emblazoned images on two of its trash cans suggesting that Grinnell Glacier is fading away. But when Root compared his images to those on the trash cans, it appears that the glacier may have grown over the past few years.
