Climate change will be particularly benign to the Pacific Northwest if NOAA models are even close to correct. Not harmless, but temperature will go up a little and precipitation will increase. It's the precipitation that's causing the glacial increase on Baker if I'm not mistaken.

As to global warming in general, the first real glimpse of this was Otzi, who melted out of a glacier in 1991.

The dead of Everest are landmarks. They're used for navigation in some cases.

In my opinion, Peak Thoughtful on climbing is in the thread below. Everyone was civil except me.
