Using the logic of the authors (global warming causes glaciers to melt), then the earth was warmer 5000 years ago than it is now. Isn’t it odd that the word ‘warmer’ isn’t even mentioned in the article?
This is great news! The earth was warmer then, and mankind survived!
Silly Climate Change denier, use something more obvious as a cause than denying the truth handed down by Saint Al Gore. It’s obvious to any right thinking person that this anomaly that Space Aliens were mining ice from this area for their Marstinis after using up all the ice on Mars. This was of course before they all got arrested for DUIs in the UFOs… SHEESH! Be Logical will ya!
This simple, but logical and scientific explanation, covers the thinner ice completely without having to change all the settled science and having to send back all those lovely and very lucrative climate change grants.
