Glacier National Park Is Melting

Glacier National Park in Montana is down to 26 glaciers from 150 in 1850. By 2020 the park is expected to be ice free. Think about that in ten years there may not be any glaciers in Glacier National Park!

In fact studies from both hemispheres indicate that 95% of the worlds alpine glaciers excluding Antarctica are retreating.

Global Warming is real and it’s effects are being felt right now.

President Obama wants too clean up the Great Lakes

President Obama’s 2011 budget requests $300 million too continue an environmental restoration program of the Great Lakes.

The Program eventually calls for spending more then 20 billion for a wide ranging cleanup of the Great Lakes.

The Great Lakes have been damaged by industrial pollutants, farm runoff and many invasive species.

I’m glad we have a president who understands the important of restoring the health of the Great Lakes.
