3. Glaciers gone...

Rocky Mountains: Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Montana
What we could see in 2100: Shorter snow season, early snowmelt, drought, wildfire and water issues

They expect the glaciers in Glacier Nat Park to be GONE in 12 years. If you want to see them first...better get in your CO2 spewing machine and get there...pronto.
