Debunked: Emissions melting Grand Teton National Park glaciers?

Hey everyone. Steve Milloy here. New York Times climate propagandist David Gelles woke up the other day and looked out the window of his hotel room in Grand Teton National Park. Compared to the pictures on the wall of his hotel room, he noted that the glaciers were smaller than they were 70 years ago. So he wrote an article entitled: “Climate Change Comes to the Tetons: In one of North America’s most stunning mountain ranges, melting glaciers and warmer temperatures are raising fears of ecological tipping points.”

But if Gelles had bothered to do minimal research about the Tetons, he would have learned that the Tetons were glacier-free as recently as 6,000 years ago, when atmospheric carbon dioxide was at a pre-industrial era level. New glaciers formed during the period from about 1400 to 1800 called the Little Ice Age. Those glaciers have been retreating since at least the mid- to-late 1800s. And that’s what David Gelles saw out of his hotel window, a phase in a natural cycle.

So contrary to his article’s headline, “climate change” has not just arrived at the Tetons. Climate change has always been occurring, here, there and everywhere. Climate change is an entirely natural process and there is no evidence that emissions are playing any role whatsoever.

Do retreating glaciers represent some sort of climate tipping point? Well, absent a catastrophic event, “climate change” is generally gradual and not even really noticeable. And although the New York Times has recently been pushing the notion of climate tipping points -- check out my video on that, the link is in this post – there is no such thing as a climate tipping point. Climate tipping points are strictly an invention of the climate hoax. Stay up with the latest on the climate hoax. Follow me on X at @JunkScience and at my web site JunkScience.com.
