What is significant about this article is that in one way it tells us how Carbons cycle in the glaciers, back to water front, back to the ocean and somewhere around the Equator, the Carbons are returned to the atmosphere and they again are lopped in with the Carbons we created that Mother Nature failed to use before they are dumped again on the glacier.
In the bigger picture, glaciers and Polar Region Ice Caps are the Ice Boxes of the Earth. Much like our Fridge, with an Ice box on the side or top, our glaciers and Ice Caps store unneeded Carbons for later use, such as Global Warming when the expansion of topography north and south of the Equator takes place.
As for the Global Warming Alarmists part of the article, have fun.

I also wonder if plants do not serve as a forcing factor on carbon in the atmosphere. Its well known (albeit blasphemous to the agw cult) that carbon makes much more plant life grow...and thus supports more life of all kinds on this planet (including endangered species). But somebody help me out here...when the plants and animals die, I am under the impression that although most of that carbon makes it back to the atmosphere, a minority is lost to the atmosphere and instead ends up trapped in the ground far enough down that it leaves the cycle.
So I wonder if more carbon in the atmosphere causes more carbon to be so lost?

They are still trying to push their phony global warming/climate change BS. I guess if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.

As if "carbon" mattered.
(I think they mean CO2, which doesn't matter either.)
