| Subject: Leftist neo-savages hold mock funeral for Icelandic glacier claimed by 'climate change' Tue Aug 20, 2019 3:31 am | |
| Scientists and activists said their final goodbyes to "Ok," the first glacier lost to climate change, on Sunday in Iceland, according to The Associated Press. Okjökull, known as "Ok," became the first glacier in Iceland to lose its title due to climate change in 2014, the AP noted. Icelandic geologist Oddur Sigurðsson reportedly said that while Ok was the first glacier to disappear, more across the nation will be gone in 200 years. About 100 people attended the gathering to remember the glacier that once stretched six square miles, the news service reported. “The symbolic death of a glacier is a warning to us, and we need action,” former Irish President Mary Robinson said. “We see the consequences of the climate crisis,” Icelandic Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir said. “We have no time to lose.” Rice University last month had revealed a plaque with a eulogy, which was placed on Sunday.
