High-Frequency Holocene Glacier Fluctuations in New Zealand Differ from the Northern Signature
Climate model X.0 needs some fixing. BTW, where's the warming?
I love statements like this. The planet has cooled over the last ten years of "warming". Why would it surprise anyone that the glaciers have also grown during this cooling trend?
Your glaciers haven’t followed the program!
Just another in a growing list of “Don’t believe your lying eyes” type of article designed to confound the issue.
“Planet Warming Despite Falling Temperatures.”
Do not assume that by "warming" we mean "getting warmer". In fact, it may be that global warming will lead to a decrease in average temperatures around the globe. However at nearly any time some part of the earth will be warmer than it was before (where we get to say what "before" means) and so we will still get to try to ruin your lives and your economy.
Uh glaciers are like a tank of water. Put more in (snow) and it gets deeper/longer, drain more out and it gets shallower/shorter. A glacier is not a thermometer nor something more permanent like rock.
I suspect that the Obama administration is going to adopt a similar strategy when they soon postulate that increasing unemployment numbers are really a sign of a growing and robust economy.
Yet I have read numerous articles on how global warming is melting our glaciers. If warming would melt them, it's odd that their growth is not evidence against global warming. That said, I agree with your post, in terms of the science. The point is that science has as little to do with global warming as it has with astrology ... so we make fun of the True Believers whenever the evidence makes them look particularly absurd (and that's pretty often).
When will the glaciers be forced to melt for denying global warming?
“But the more we’re learning about the southern hemisphere we understand that it has its own climate system that’s somewhat different.”

Gollleeee! Who’da thunk sech as that? I’sa beginnin’ tuh thank I knows mo’ ‘bout da climb eight then them thare fellers.
Is it just me or does Gore look more and more like a madman every time I see a picture of him?
It’s because the glaciers in the south are upside down.
It's now Semi-Globull Warming Theory.

And pet the polar bears as you go, says ManBearPig Gore.
Slightly warmer temperatures can result in more moisture producing more snow especially in areas where temperatures are so cold as to be have near-desert amounts of precipitation (less than 10 inches per year). More snow can change the glacier’s balance to growth even though the temperature rises a bit.
