"check out the glaciers for the last time"

No need to wait until 2040 as per the article, people do this right now at Glacier National Park in Montana. (edited: I understand now, the reason the article listed 2040 and the alps instead of GNP, is the latest estimate for GNP is its last glacier will melt around 2020-2030 timeframe, figure in the next decade, so by 2040 you'll be going to the alps to see a glacier not GNP...)

Some of the comments are amusing, mostly unintentionally. The general public is much less educated and intelligent than HN. If you think we're uncomfortable with self driving cars and digital womens fashion, imagine how those clowns are going to feel.

Boutique vinegar is hardly new, it's just not mainstream yet. Alton Brown predicted this in 2005 (Good Eats season 9 episode 8 "Good Wine Gone Bad")
