you make zero sense here
Glaciers throughout Alaska are shrinking more and more rapidly, and scientists comparing old photos taken up to a century ago with digital images made during climbing expeditions today say the pictures provide the most dramatic evidence yet that global warming is real.
And it's not only the glaciers reflecting the climate change. Everywhere on the treeless tundra north of the jagged slopes of Alaska's Brooks Range, explosive bursts of vegetation -- willows, alders, birch and many shrubs -- are thriving where permafrost once kept the tundra surface frozen in winter.
Two geophysicists and a government geologist who spend much of their working lives exploring changes in the Arctic displayed dozens of photographs from the thousands in their files Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.

I could be wrong here, but I think that through recorded history, glaciers have been melting and have been a source of water. A couple different civilzations built Aquaducts to the melting glaciers to make possible the higher populations of the great cities of the ancient world like Rome and Constantinople.
the point the AGW freaks miss is the glaciers have been melting since the last ice age
The glacial loss is a painfully ironic reminder that, according to recent climate projections, Africa will be the continent hit hardest by global warming, despite its negligible contributions to greenhouse gases through the burning of fossil fuels.
no, what most people are laughing at is you pathetic AGW morons that actually think you can do something to stop it from happeningThe glacial loss is a painfully ironic reminder that, according to recent climate projections, Africa will be the continent hit hardest by global warming, despite its negligible contributions to greenhouse gases through the burning of fossil fuels.

Soon, the glaciers feeding the Nile will be gone and then we will see starvation like we have never seen before. And the right wing laughs and laughs.

Yes, you are wrong.
Retreat of Andean Glaciers Foretells Global Water Woes by Carolyn Kormann: Yale Environment 360
Earlier this year, the World Bank released yet another in a seemingly endless stream of reports by global institutions and universities chronicling the melting of the worlds cryosphere, or ice zone. This latest report concerned the glaciers in the Andes and revealed the following: Bolivias famed Chacaltaya glacier has lost 80 percent of its surface area since 1982, and Peruvian glaciers have lost more than one-fifth of their mass in the past 35 years, reducing by 12 percent the water flow to the countrys coastal region, home to 60 percent of Perus population.
And if warming trends continue, the study concluded, many of the Andes tropical glaciers will disappear within 20 years, not only threatening the water supplies of 77 million people in the region, but also reducing hydropower production, which accounts for roughly half of the electricity generated in Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador.

again, you just confirmed what I said, but i'm the dumb oneWhat a dumb fuck you are, Dive. The glacial melt provides the water for agriculture at the end of the season. If the glaciers are vastly diminished, or gone, there is plenty of water at the beginning of the season, and little to none once the seasonal snows are melted off. Perhaps if you had a clue as to how glacier work, you would be capable of understanding the concern.
