Another aspect is that glacier size relates less to ambient temperature than it does to snowfall accumulation at the glacier's head. According to some, "global warming," if it exists, would cause increased snowfall in cold regions, thereby increasing glacier size.

I have heard that theory too. I wish I had heard it before I went there and saw the glacier footprint maps. I didn't think to compare the temps to the footprints.

This data is available. It frosts me no end that it isn't published in the popular media so we can all see it and come to our own conclusions.
But that wouldn't advance the "politically correct" argument, would it?
