and the more cold water that gets dumbed into the atlantic will mess up the warm gulf current, and make europe very cold!!!

The sad thing about this is that this topic is so politicized that you don't take any of these studies at face value. And they've cried wolf so many times...

The scientists found that warmer air temperatures have increased the overall shrinkage Kind of counter-intuitive, don't you think?

To: neodad
They're partially right. Cold water does lead to shrinkage.
To: quantim
didn't another study say that precipitation and snow levels were rising as well, causing the glaciers to grow at their peaks? Warming may be just speeding up a process of deposition and melting with little net change.

Nothing like a dip in Lake Michigan any time of year for one to caibrate the perception of manhood.

Scientists who carried out the first comprehensive analysis of changing speeds of the glaciers on the world's largest island were shocked to discover that many have doubled in speed within the past decade. Now let me get this straight, in Alaska "global warming" is causing the glaciers to retreat, but in Greenland "global warming" causes glaciers to advance?
To: neodad
How is that counterintuitive? Warm air=more melting.
To: Wiseghy
This is in Antarctica, I believe. Increased snowfall has built upon the part of the glaciers there.
To: quantim
It seems to me the glaciers should be retreating away and not advancing toward the ocean if they are melting,and the ocean level rising is probably only in the computer projections of algore and every other ex-hippy enviro-wacko who wants to stop the USA from producing anything. man-made global warming is no doubt the biggest hoax ever pulled in history

Warmer temperatures are "lubricating" the glaciersThat's what brought out Chicken Little. That is to suggest the heat is underneath, rather than above. Pure nonsense as you point out.

This one is obviously fake because the over all ice is actually growing. But if a factual report does come out one day will we be able to spot it through all the bull that we have been fed?

Last century they rose by 10-20cm. Not according to this benchmark, struck in 1841:

Probably not until the effect is something we can see or feel ourselves.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has estimated that global sea levels will increase by 10-90cms over the next century.This could be a good school class project. Every day take them down to the beach and watch the water level rise. (Psst. Don't tell them about the tide)

which isn't a logical contradiction to any global warming scenario either.
