Yep, melting glaciers and rising seas are major problems. We need to spend a trillion dollars to help out those countries that are bound to be hit hard by this crisis...

Glaciers growing on Mt. Shasta

Although the media has done a great job of covering this up, the inconvenient fact is that all seven glaciers on California’s Mount Shasta are growing. This includes Whitney Glacier, the state’s largest.

Yes, growing. Not melting.

Not only are Mt. Shasta’s glaciers growing, two have nearly doubled in size.

This is irrefutable, Glacier Girl was abandoned on the Greenland ice sheet in 1942 and 50 years later in 1992, she was excavated from beneath 270 feet of ice. If global warming is caused by anthropogenic/industrial releases of CO2, how could the Greenland ice sheet be 270 feet deeper in the 2nd half of the 20th century than in the 1st half?

On 15 July 1942, its squadron was forced to make an emergency landing en route to the British Isles during Operation Bolero and subsequently rescued. Glacier Girl, along with five other P-38 fighters and two B-17 bombers, was eventually buried beneath 270 feet of ice. Fifty years later, in 1992, the plane was brought to the surface after years of excavation and transported to Middlesboro, Kentucky, where it was restored to flying condition.
