The glaciers of Mount Everest may be gone by the end of this century

Warmer earth = more food can be grown

From the report:
For years, scientists have been debating why satellite temperature data shows there have been about 18 years with no warming trend. Surface temperature data shows a similar pause in warming for the last 10 to 15 years.

This is obviously a fake report, the climatologist in chief has told us repeatedly that the earth is continuing to warm and that the warming is accelerating, in fact we have only a few more months before the situation becomes irreversible.

GREASE FIRE!!!!

I kinda remember the early 70’s

It’s about time to bring back Bell Bottoms it would seem. They’ve been gone a while.

[hal ogen]

My hope is that ALL LIBs will be "gone" by the end of the century. One can dream...

[DPMD]

“suggests,” “would,” “might…”

There you have it: The science is settled and the debate over. Time for the Marin Malignant Midget Barbara Boxer to come in and hit the gong.

Ice free arctic by 2013.

I once melted the knee of my polyester pants by sliding on the gym floor.

The likely scenario will be sublimation and ablation due to high winds and zero humidity.

Glaciers require precipitation, which comes from ocean, forests or jungles upwind from the area of concern. Kilimanjaro in Africa is losing snowpack due to stripping of nearby foliage. No precipitation and any glacier will eventually vanish.

Climate change could cause more vegetation upwind, or less, no one has any way of knowing. The title of the article is technically accurate, but it doesn’t convey any useful information.

“The glaciers of Mount Everest may be gone by the end of this century”

And then again, maybe not. They might even grow in the next 85 years. Who knows, really.

It has been mathematically proven that weather cannot be predicted accurately beyond 72 hours, so does anyone with a lick of scientific knowledge really believe the state of the “climate” can be predicted 85 years later?

OUCH!!!

[mabarker1]

You would think so with the way they promote abortion and birth control but SOMEHOW they keep Spawning.

[Chickensoup]

I thought they were supposed to be gone by the end of last century.

RE Early 70s:

The Age Of The Polyester Leisure Suit!!!!!!
Platform Shoes...
Crushed Velvet Pimp Bell Bottoms...

No... not that again ... please God no... haha!!!

[mabarker1]

I’m getting the Munchies thinking about it;)

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I hope they have a nice trip!

[JoeFromSidney]

How old are those glaciers? Were they there during the Medieval Warm Period? The Roman Warm Period? If so, were they as large as they are now? Anybody know?

[Doc91678]

Maybe the Polar Vortex didn’t reach that far. Then again has anyone heard that the Sahara is turning green again. The Spring rains have begun.

Haha!!!

SOmebody at work brought up a concert from back in 1977 that I went to - Dickie Betts, J Geils Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Peter Frampton.

He was there as well, and we were laughing about it... sooooo long ago already.
