Global warming turns ugly frozen hellhole into the most beautiful place on earth

Going, going ... two photographs released by Greenpeace - top, taken in 1928
and bottom, January 2004, show the decrease in size of the Upsala Glacier in the
Patagonia region of Argentina. Greenpeace says it is dramatic evidence of the effects
of climate change. It said rising temperatures are causing glaciers in the Patagonia
area to melt at a rate of 42 cubic kilometres a year - faster than anywhere else on earth.

that pic is a bunch of bunk, proof of nothing. Your looking at an area a few aces in size, with the end of the glacier still very close to where it was. The snow cover on the mountains is the same. a cold year can make it return to it's privious state. All glaciers vary from year to year, decade to decade, century to century. It's part of an ever changing process.

We know that the earth was warmer than it is now at one time.why else are their dinosaur bones in the ice?
We can be still emerging from the last ice age for all we know.

This is blatant fear mongering by the loony lefty enviro wienie Gaia worshipers.

Isn't it just a case of Ma Nature providing a new, clean, fertile place for the people on the 'disappearing' islands to migrate to?
