Athabasca Glacier and Sunwapta Lake at Dusk
Columbia Icefield, Jasper

There's no such thing as man-made global warming.

And if you believe that, I've got a vanishing glacier to sell you. 

This is the most-visited glacier in North America. But maybe not for long.

It's already receded several hundred metres in the last 25 years - and the recession is accelerating. 

Geologists predict that within 100 years, the Athabasca glacier will become an alpine meadow. 
See David Suzuki's Geological Journey program on the Columbia Icefield which comprises the Athabasca glacier and others.
