The worlds largest glacier...... is getting bigger not shrinking.. climate hoax

I see her name. What I do not see is a link to any study by any scientist. EVERY link in that article simply leads to another Livescience article.

Oh.....okay!

Whatever you say!

NARRATIVE FAIL: One Of Largest Glaciers On Earth That Shrank Is Growing Again

Sorry liberals

lol

Yes, most conservatives are truly this ignorant and stupid.

The fact of climate change isn’t a ‘conservative’ or ‘liberal’ issue.

That conservatives have sought to make the fact of climate change ‘political’ is further proof of their ignorance and stupidity.

So we should kill all cows, rip down all buildings in manhattan, destroy airplanes, and cars because the climate has been changing for thousands of years lol

I love it!

The usual alarmist suspects reject out of hand EMPIRICALLY OBSERVED EVIDENCE and cling to their failed modeling... You just cant get any stupider than that..

You keep talking about "empirically observed evidence" (sort of like "observed observed evidence", I guess) but I've yet to actually see what you're talking about. Where is this evidence Billy?

And what might any of your comments have to do with the Jakobshavn glacier?

Have you looked at the numbers on your own graphs? I don't think so.........you are getting bamboozled by graph fakery, effectively going for the perception provided by the plunge in the line on the graph. Ahh.....but astute people look and see big old zero's on the vertical axis.........so measures of 0.3 meters etc over the course of almost 60 years. YAWN................this is what Im always talking about.........some people just tend to the hysterical. The graph can give a casual observer the perception that these glaciers are melting like an ice cube in the summer on your patio table. Yuk......but closer observation gets us to............well, yeah......yawning!


Oh.....not to mention and as has been established in this forum many, many times.......many of the worlds glaciers are growing. This is an indisputable fact. But those don't count if you are a climate crusader!!

Ahhh.....but we only care about winning s0n.........and didn't you ever learn from your parents? In the end, it is indeed all about the politics. Which we know because the science isn't transcending shit!

Thousands of years ago, the melting mile-thick glaciers of the Wisconsin Ice Age left the North American continent a magnificent gift: five fantastic freshwater seas collectively known today as the Great Lakes -- Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

the glaciers that covered much of the state until about 12,000 years ago created most Minnesota lakes. Glaciers formed lake basins by gouging holes in loose soil or soft bedrock, depositing material across stream beds, or leaving buried chunks of ice that later melted to lea

Glaciers melting is not a good thing.

Global glacier mass changes and their contributions to sea-level rise from 1961 to 2016

Abstract
Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets cover an area of approximately 706,000 square kilometres globally1, with an estimated total volume of 170,000 cubic kilometres, or 0.4 metres of potential sea-level-rise equivalent2. Retreating and thinning glaciers are icons of climate change3 and affect regional runoff4 as well as global sea level5,6. In past reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, estimates of changes in glacier mass were based on the multiplication of averaged or interpolated results from available observations of a few hundred glaciers by defined regional glacier areas7,8,9,10. For data-scarce regions, these results had to be complemented with estimates based on satellite altimetry and gravimetry11. These past approaches were challenged by the small number and heterogeneous spatiotemporal distribution of in situ measurement series and their often unknown ability to represent their respective mountain ranges, as well as by the spatial limitations of satellite altimetry (for which only point data are available) and gravimetry (with its coarse resolution). Here we use an extrapolation of glaciological and geodetic observations to show that glaciers contributed 27 ± 22 millimetres to global mean sea-level rise from 1961 to 2016. Regional specific-mass-change rates for 2006–2016 range from −0.1 metres to −1.2 metres of water equivalent per year, resulting in a global sea-level contribution of 335 ± 144 gigatonnes, or 0.92 ± 0.39 millimetres, per year. Although statistical uncertainty ranges overlap, our conclusions suggest that glacier mass loss may be larger than previously reported11. The present glacier mass loss is equivalent to the sea-level contribution of the Greenland Ice Sheet12, clearly exceeds the loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet13, and accounts for 25 to 30 per cent of the total observed sea-level rise14. Present mass-loss rates indicate that glaciers could almost disappear in some mountain ranges in this century, while heavily glacierized regions will continue to contribute to sea-level rise beyond 2100.

All models all the time with you...isn't it skid mark.

Alot of glaciers growing and some at a phenomenal rate. The climate crusaders never want you knowing about them though!
