Stupid place for a glacier anyways - 2 degrees from the equator and all. (I did some work at the mine across the valley from the glacier - snowed twice in the three months I was there!)

The glacier was literally melting under their feet. 
Why BS ??? Any sane person standing within a 'melting' glacier probably wouldn't make it out of there alive. Something about instability of such a rapidly melting structure or some sort .. and of course there is all that slipping and falling into a ravine and such. I call BS on this 'observation'

National Palisimian Radio steps in it again with this one: “If they lose the glaciers then they’re going to lose part of their soul.”
Could be worse, they could be Democrats, who are about to lose their collective a$$es and control of DC.

In 1960 I went into the Rhone Glacier in Switzerland. A tunnel had been dug deep into the glacier and a plank walkway to walk on. You could hear the water trickling out under the planks to form the Rhone River. Fabulous experience! Never will forget it.

Glacier in Indonesia near the equator. LOL! Maybe they should be looking for The Imam’s BC in his Muslim home country of Indo.

Glaciers ablate in the summer, especially equatorial ones. The question is do they replace those losses in the winter. A glacier is either advancing or retreating. Most glaciers have been in retreat since 1850 as the world has emerged from the little ice age. Ricky scientist knows this of course, but his next grant is contingent on how big a lie he can manage to tell.

Indonesia is is**mic and m**l*ms have no soul. F you NPR.

...actually it makes sense that a glacier would melt more rapidly as it got smaller: volume/surface-area ratio is common in calculating/measuring heat-transfer.
Shouldn’t the question be more along the lines “does it come back at all?” I mean sometimes it shows in New Mexico or Arizona... but I have yet to see alarm raised because it melts.

Which is fine .. you were observing the workings of nature in its majesty, not like the 'scientist' in this article who declares that 'the glacier was literally melting under my feet' or some such drama in order to advance a theory - Global Warming™ -
To: PROCON
Who would guess that a glacier located in the tropics would have a limited lifespan?
