More pure BS form the doom and gloom -- global warming --entrepreneurs

Snippet from article below --

According to John Carlisle, director of the environmental policy task force of the National Center for Public Policy Research, "the advance of the Antarctic and Greenland glaciers, which contain more than 90 percent of the world's glacial ice, completely contradicts previous predictions that warming would cause these glaciers to retreat." "

Far from providing scientific proof of global warming," he notes, "the behavior of glaciers represents yet another powerful indictment of the already-controversial global warming theory." Carlisle concedes that proponents of global warming theory are not lying outright when they warn of glacial melting. Some melting of the Earth's mid-latitude glaciers is in fact taking place.

But those glaciers represent only 6 percent of the planet's total ice mass. In the remaining 94 percent, represented by the Antarctic [which is ALSO growing] and Greenland, the ice sheets are expanding. The West Greenland Ice Sheet, the largest mass of polar ice in the Northern Hemisphere, has thickened by up to seven feet since 1980.

Here is a google search link with many other articles on how Greenland glaciers are GROWING, not shrinking.

Right on! And more importantly, we haven't historical measurements of more than a few dozen of the thousands of glaciers currently in the world. And the majority of the historical records we do have go back 5, 10, 15 years. We may have to begin doing a little speculatiing here.

Yep, global warming surely accounts for the need to dig out the "Glacier Girl"
P-38 aircraft from under lots of snow/ice in Greenland.

With all the fuel burned since WWII and the suppossed global warming, you'd think
the planes of "The Lost Squadron" would have been sitting in the middle of
a palm-lined lake in Greenland!
