The 'Mer de Glace' (Sea of Ice) glacier near Chamonix, Mont-Blanc, eastern France. Glaciers are melting faster in southern South America and Alaska than in Europe and communities need to adapt their living habits to the meltdown, said a UN report released in Mexico Tuesday.

Glaciers.
They’ve been shrinking since the last ice age, but suddenly it’s news.

This is the UN speaking. They are ignorant. Pay no attenion to them or you’ll just encourage them..
To: NormsRevenge
They’ll just need to contact their commission for the rights of women and behead a few million women and girls to combat the rising carbon footprint...

Norway on Tuesday pledged more than 12 million dollars to help
I wonder how the Norwegians whose pockets this "pledge" is coming out of feel about having their money stolen for this transparent lie. For that matter how does anyone feel about this sham being used as a justification to steal our hard earned money and squander it on a bunch of third world dumps meanwhile allowing the globull warming cult leaders to frolic in the sun and dine on the very best of everything in Cancun.

Though glaciers are shrinking overall worldwide, high levels of rain have actually increased the size of others, including in western Norway and New Zealand's South Island, the report said. How can they be "shrinking overall worldwide" when many are increasing in size?!? Strange how all this ice is melting into the rivers but causing them to shrink. Whatever. Mankind must have been the cause of the ending of the ice age, right?

Wasn’t there a travel advisory issued for travelers going to Mexico lately? Perhaps the drug lords will look on the extra security as a challenge...

Ah the UN.
Now they are a unbiased, objective, credible source of scientific information.
NASA would have been a little more credible, a little.
We all know the glaciers are melting. We are not sure why. We are not sure that it is for the better of worse generally. We are not sure of the time-frame for the future.
It's sort of like a storm, in slow motion; spanning many lifespans. Not unprecedented.

LOL. It’s worse than we thought. Global Warming caused a titanic thread-slide that made your post about Mexico appear over here!
We didn’t listen!

I think if you stay in the Cancun Zona Hotelera you should be OK. All they have to do is reassign the cops they have with radar guns shaking down tourists as security and they'll be plenty of protection.

And there is a thread a little further up the page that has a scientist stating that we are in a mini-Ice Age. Can't these people get their lies straight?
