Sorry Al Gore, Swiss Glaciers Melted Faster in the 1940's Than Today

One of the things the global warming moonbats point at as proof of their Global Warming theory is the melting of Swiss glaciers, for example the below is from June 2009:

Global warming is happening in Switzerland too. The latest study revealed that glaciers in Switzerland shrank by huge 12 percent in the last 10 years, which is their highest melting rate in history. Scientists agree that this is due to higher temperatures and lighter snowfalls. Scientific data showed that this last decade was really bad in terms of glacier melting in Switzerland, and that Switzerland lost lot of water due to rapid melting of glaciers.

Here's a little secret that the moonbats aren't telling us, the Swiss Glaciers were melting faster 70 years ago than they are today. So much for global warming:

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[marvlus]

Does anyone know whatever happened to Freeper xcamel? He used to ping me with these kinds of articles, but I hear he has been banned.

[steelyourfaith]

Apparently there was a banning. More than that I do not know.

While the Arctic icecap may be melting, it is also interesting to note that the Antarctic icecap is INCREASING! Also along with all of this occurring over the last few decades, the polar bear population has actually doubled or tripled, thereby disproving yet another claim of the enviro extremists.

Melting glaciers is obviously a secret Nazi plot. The AGW will really gin up the hysteria within their ranks of kids and other emotionally stunted people with this revalation of secret nazi plots to flood the world and kill cute polar bears.

Global warming looking more and more like a big, expensive hoax: http://hotair.com/archives/2010/01/04/no-rise-in-atmospheric-carbon-over-the-last-150-years-university-of-bristol/

Apparently xcamel was a she. She was banned in that HUGE thread (more than 3,000 posts) posted by Jim Robinson about FR being a pro-Christian site.

She was revealed to be a pro-Darwinist zealot who enjoyed mocking Christians and faithful FReepers on another site -- I believe it was Darwinist Central, or something like that.

A true troll, in other words.

...in the 1940s and in the summer of 1947 especially, the glaciers lost the most ice since measurements commenced in 1914.

George Bush was born in 1946.

What is a Darwinist?

[pallis]

The difference is that Algore didn’t make any money off melting glaciers in the 40’s. Facts, history, reality are just obstacles to be overcome by the guru of warming.

[Flycatcher]

What is a Darwinist?

An amateur.

In contradistinction to a Pro-Darwinist.

[muawiyah]

A "Pro Darwinist". Would that be something like a "Pro Cathedral", that is, "TEMPORARY".

Ah, yes, I'll be a Darwinst on odd Mondays and even Fridays, then a Neo Darwinst on Tuesdays, a Pseudo Darwinist the rest of the time ~ all temporary.

[Flycatcher]

Now when you allude to procathedral, are you speaking ex cathedra?

_{We could have fun with this, ya know...?}

[hennie pennie]

Some type of banning due to some type flame war about Darwinism.

[PapaBear3625]

A harbinger of what was coming can be seen in the interactions between xcamel and the initiator of this thread

[Politicalmom]

Disgusting and disappointing.

[PapaBear3625]

While I’ve found it occasionally amusing to get some sparring practice on the creationist threads, I’m thinking I’ll just ignore them instead from now on.
