“It's almost universal that all glaciers are retreating,”

What are these glaciers running from?  Besides France.

Shite happens and weather changes.

So?

The glaciers up here are melting from all the socialists in Portland spouting off their drivel and hot air.

Who has more insight on the issue, Al Gore or the heretic?

“The fingerprint of global warming is increasing on a global scale.”

Wow!  Global warming is increasing on a global scale?  I thought that it only affected Europe, California, Oregon, Washington and the northeast.  I had no idea that it was so bad that it was affecting the whole earth.  Now, that's scary.

Now, just like the cavemen (excuse me, cavewomen...no, that's wrong too...cavepersons, yeah that the one) watched in horror during the last ice age as the glaciers melted, we too, can stand in absolute horror watching the ice melt too.

I think that I am going to start building my global warming shelter in the backyard this weekend...before it's too late.

What's the big deal? The glacier on Mt. Hood would melt in about 5 seconds in an eruption - think Mt. St. Helens and THEN some!!!!!!

In other words the ICE AGE is still in the process of ending. We have old family films of us visiting the Ice Caves on Mt Rainer in the late 1950's. I believe those caves no longer exist or at least they are not nearly as large as they were when we walked through them. This is because of the shrinking glaciers, and this shrinking has been going on long before man had any effect on the environment.
