If the Earth is cooling, then why are the glaciers melting AND the oceans are getting warmer?

Shouldn't the oceans be getting cooler when the glaciers are melting?

If the Earth is cooling, then why are the glaciers melting AND the oceans are getting warmer?

Simple. The earth is cooling because of global warming from greenhouse gas emissions secondary to evil SUVs.

Shouldn't the oceans be getting cooler when the glaciers are melting?

Yes. The oceans are getting warmer and the glaciers are melting because of global warming from greenhouse gas emmisions secondary to evil SUVs.

Why are the glaciers melting if the Earth is cooling?

At the risk of being repetitious, the Earth is cooling causing melting glaciers because of global warming from greenhouse gas emmisions secondary to evil SUVs.

The only solution to all these environmental evils is to legislate against SUVs and provide tax incentives to purchasing Volvos.

Global warming after the last ice-age helped civilization prosper. A gentler environment helped humans develop agriculture, culture, language and education. By the time the next ice-age looms, humans should have attained the means to leave the earth and colonize other worlds. That's only if we drill in Anwar...of course.
