Glacier National Park
A little more than 100 years ago, there were as many as 150 glaciers strewn throughout Glacier National Park. By 2005, only 27 remained, and those glaciers are expected to disappear by 2030, if not earlier. Many of the plant and animal species that call the park home require cold water, meaning the ecosystem of the park may change dramatically when the glaciers are gone.

It is not just the beauty of the place, it is a source of drinking water for the planet.
It's the Himalayan ones..
I actually JUST read a report that the main paper on climate change accidentally put the year 2035 as when they expect the glaciers to melt - the actual figure should be 2350. Of course you should still go and experience the beauty of it, but we have a couple more years than originally expected..

Is this some kind of statement about people who live in trailer parks? People who live in trailer parks are too stupid to pay attention to the earth? It is the sheer stupidity of people who own mansions, SUV's, create more of a population problem, work a 9-5 at the power plant, eat regularly at McDonalds and The cheesecake factory that can't seem to open their eyes and learn to conserve and love the outdoors. Trailer, VW bus, camper ect... thats an earth friendly way to live (in nature).
I agree more here. The people who buy the overly priced vehicles and own homes that are no longer a necessity but an act of "i have the money, why not" are mostly the ones who don't see the damage they are causing. By having a house or car that uses so much fuel or energy. How ever that is not saying that there are people who live an "average" lower to middle class life that are closed minded to the fact that our planet does need to be respected, and cared for. Basically there are those.... More
