And this is the A3KS. And this is the next one about Yosemite. In Yosemite National Park. And the mountain glaciers there, they're projected to disappear in about 75 years or less. And some new research is finding that their loss will be the first kind humans have ever seen this year in the Nevada mountains ice-free, completely without ice. And this new study was published Wednesday, October 1st, in the journal Science Advances. This last week, back Wednesday, Science Advances said that the Sierra Nevada glaciers, they haven't disappeared since the last ice age. And because they've reached their maximum extent during the ice age about 30,000 years ago, and because humans aren't thought to have arrived in North America until after 30,000 years, this means people have never witnessed an ice-free Sierra Nevada, according to this study. And anthropogenic climate change is likely creating a no-analog scenario in the western United States with correct interglacial, with this current interglacial. This is part of the paper that just recently come out, it's dropping.
