Glaciers are getting bigger.
ARCTIC GLACIERS ARE GETTING BIGGER - Ice Caps Also Increasing in Thickness, Captain MacMillan Reports. - Article - NYTimes.com
We know they are getting bigger because glaciers are forming ice bergs that are larger and more numerous. Ice bergs are formed by a process known as calving. A portion of a glacier gets too big and too heavy. Part of it breaks off as an ice berg. For a glacier to form an ice berg at all, it has to be growing.
If you serously look at the effect of global warming on glaciers, what you will find are reports that some glaciers are growing and some are shrinking. Shrinking glaciers are evidence of global warming. Growing glaciers are the effect of global warming. If both are true, then neither is true.
Over and over global warming has been proven to be a hoax.
LOL. The length that you people will go to prove yourselves to be fools. Yep, Capt. MacMillan was an Arctic Explorer.
Crocker Land Expedition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The expedition was organized by Donald Baxter MacMillan and sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History, the American Geographical Society, and the University of Illinois' Museum of Natural History.
MacMillan's geologist, ornithologist and botanist was Walter Elmer Ekblaw of the University of Illinois.[1][2] Navy Ensign Fitzhugh Green served as engineer and physicist. Maurice Cole Tanquary of the University of Illinois was the zoologist and Dr. Harrison J. Hunt the surgeon.[3][4]
That expedition left New York in 1913.
Minik Wallace, the Inuit famously brought to the United States as a child by Robert Peary in 1897, was the guide and translator for the expedition.[5]
As well as confirming and mapping the position of Crocker Land, the declared purpose of the expedition was to investigate "geology, geography, glaciology, meteorology, terrestrial magnetism, electrical phenomena, seismology, zoology (both vertebrate and invertebrate), botany, oceanography, ethnology, and archaeology".
In newspapers of the time, MacMillan described Crocker Land as "the worlds last geographical problem".
"In June 1906, Commander Peary, from the summit of Cape Thomas Hubbard, at about latitude 83 degrees N, longitude 100 degrees W, reported seeing land glimmering in the northwest, approximately 130 miles (210 km) away across the Polar Sea. He did not go there, but he gave it a name in honor of the late George Crocker of the Peary Arctic Club. That is Crocker Land. Its boundaries and extent can only be guessed at, but I am certain that strange animals will be found there, and I hope to discover a new race of men." MacMillan,
