The article ends with a reference to the Okjökull glacier memorial plaque, one of the most pre-haunted things I have ever seen:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okj%C3%B6kull

A brass plaque reading:

A letter to the future

Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier.
In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path.
This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done.
Only you know if we did it.
