From 2005...

Love the way they try to spin it.

"These glaciers seem to be benefiting from the warming ocean."

Shrinking glaciers are evidence of global warming.
Growing glaciers are evidence of global warming.

My favorite line: "These glaciers seem to be benefiting from the warming ocean."

Some people just don't read, do they? What about the NOAA sensors that have demonstrated a COOLING ocean? http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2006/s2704.htm

More proof of global warming, it is causing a local variability and the glacier will destroy everything in its path. Were Doomed!

As the artic ice melts, it will flood the earth with cool air, which will, for a time, make everything cooler. However, just as ice in a glass keeps the water cold, when the ice is gone, the temps will turn the earth into an inferno.

WE ARE DOOMED!!!

"When people look at glaciers around the world, the majority of them are shrinking," said Slawek Tulaczyk, an assistant professor of earth sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz

In terms of area size, the world's glaciers are increasing.

Glaciers are growing around the world, including the United States

Greenland's glaciers have been shrinking for 100 years: study

It's worse even than that:

So Much For Flooded Cities: Greenland Ice Loss Not Increasing
Longest-term study yet of the continent says nothing to fear.
July 4, 2008
dailytech.com

...However, a new study has concluded that Greenland's rate of melting is not accelerating, and in fact may actually be decreasing when viewed over a longer timescale. The study, which used 17 years of satellite measurements to reach its conclusions, determined the overall yearly movement of ice to the sea is not increasing, and is actually decreasing in some places...

You evil deniers don’t understand.

Global Warming is causing the melting point of ice to rise.

So there!

From the article:
“The biggest reduction was observed between 1964 and 1985”

I thought during this period (1970’s) the know it all scientists were screaming that global COOLING was destroying Earth. But according to the article this was the period of greatest glacier retreat? I just don't understand the logic???

We were visiting Glacier Nat’l Park a few years ago. They propagandized that the glaciers would be gone in 3-8 years, IIRC. Considering the area had substantially more snow last winter, I wonder what the status is now.

BTW, I was in Grand Teton Nat’l Park a couple weeks ago and the Ranger tole me they had 660” (yes, 55 feet) of snow at the station last winter!

Global warming is shrinking glaciers all over the world

Wow, they couldn't even make it past the first sentence without lying, or at the very least, presenting a completely theoretical statement as fact.

This would be a lot less “mysterious” if one were to forget preconceptions about global warming.
