Yukon Glaciers

[Old Rocks]

There are people on this thread that have been flap yapping about a cooling trend for many years. Yet, by every measure, we are warming, and doing so rapidly. One of the best measures of whether we are warming or cooling is glaciers. They reflect long term trends.

If we are warming, why is it this year, the temperature is 10 degrees colder than it was this time last year? Go ahead, if you want to save the planet take the first step to heal it. If enough of you deniers of actual science remove yourselves, pretty soon their aren't any lunatics left and the planet is saved...

You silly stupid ass, you want to use one day to show a many year trend? God, you people are so fucking stupid.

If the glaciers ever retreat from Chicago, we're doomed!

 

[Old Rocks]

Being a bit silly there, Toddster. When enough of the Himalayan glaciers recede far enough, agriculture for a lot of asian land is doomed. But that only affects a portion of humanity. No, we are not doomed by global warming, but our children and grandchildren will inherit a much poorer world than the one we have. If that is the legacy you like, fine.

How does Asian agriculture do when their glaciers are advancing?

That’s nothing. Glacier Bay glacier in Alaska receded 60 miles in 70 years.

IN THE 19Th CENTURY.

Who the hell are you to claim today’s climate is optimum?

 

[OldLady]

Fortunately, I think we have the technology to adjust and continue to feed the world. Whether the countries of the world can cooperate enough to let that happen is another matter.
The climate change is going to affect what areas of the globe are arable and produce abundant crops. That is already causing huge migration of peoples from one country to another and causing a lot of social and political instability.
Instability socially and environmentally are not a good combination.
We should be getting it together, not pulling out of international agreements to work toward solutions. We will need the solutions, and if we wait, it will be too late.

Where are huge numbers of people migrating because of global warming harming food production?

You silly stupid ass, you want to use one day to show a many year trend? God, you people are so fucking stupid.

Lets use the House scenario, as the world is just too fucking big for you idiots. Ready for some science?

In your house you have a heater and A/C and during the winter time, if you dont use your heater, the whole house would get cold? Right? Dont fucking divert off, just say Right.
Now you come into your cold house and you raise the temperature of the house 5 degrees, does only parts of your house warm up, or the whole fucking house? Again, dont divert, just answer. So imagine the World, that you worthless libtards have been saying for the past 18 years, that the world has been warming up, how can my area, be colder today than it was last year. Warming year after year, means WARMING year after year. You idiots will believe what ever your liberal elites tell you, when they drive around in limo's and fly in private jest, and live in mansions that use more energy than a small city. As I said, if you want to save the planet go for it, just take a few other liberals with you, and when the trend really picks up, soon there wont be idiots and global warming anymore.

Well the OP is correct....glaciers certainly are retreating. But only in some places. In other places, they are expanding as fast as my gorgan used to!. Very well documented in here by Billy, Tommy, SSDD and most notably, Polar Bear.

According to satellite data we've basically been in a holding pattern since 1998. Of course that may not jive with the IPCC's "homogenized" data.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

After billions of years of variance, the Earth was in perfect balance in 1860. The Glaciers stopped growing or retreating, beaches stopped eroding, and storms were normal.

Then we invented the internal combustion engine and threw the climate of planet Earth into a death spiral. Our lab work shows that by adding 120 PPM of CO2, er, nevermind, I meant to say that if you want evidence of the effects of this deadly CO2, turn on the Weather Channel. Storms, floods, droughts, fires, hurricanes, record low tornado activity, it's all there. All you have to do is surrender your wealth and freedom to a world government. Will that stop global climate warming change? At that point, what difference does it make?

    Greenland glacier advancing 7.2 miles per year!The BBC recently ran
    a documentary, The Big Chill, saying that we could be on the verge of an ice
    age. Britain could be heading towards an Alaskan-type climate within a decade,
    say scientists, because the Gulf Stream is being gradually cut off. The Gulf
    Stream keeps temperatures unusually high for such a northerly latitude.
    One of Greenland’s largest glaciers has already doubled its rate of advance,
    moving forward at the rate of 12 kilometers (7.2 miles) per year. To see a

  Himalayan Glaciers Not Shrinking
  Glacial Experts Question Theory of Global Warming
  15 Feb 07 - See Himalayan Glaciers Not Shrinking

  .
  Many people have asked why some glaciers in South America are melting.
  I think it is perfectly understandable. Remember, we have had two of the
  strongest El Ninos on record during the past 21 years. During an El Nino,
  a narrow band of the Pacific Ocean warms by as much as 14 degrees. This
  band of warm water travels east essentially along the equator until it slams
  into South America.
  
  It seems logical that the increased rainfall caused by El Nino, plus the
  warmer winds blowing across the warmer water, could hasten glacial melt.
  But let me say it again. I do not believe that this is caused by humans, I think
  it is caused by the El Nino phenomenon, which is caused by underwater
  volcanism, which is increasing due to the ice-age cycle.
  
  With this said, let me point out many glaciers in South America remain
  stable, and some - including the Pio XI Glacier and the Perito Moreno
  Glacier - are growing. The Pio XI Glacier is the largest glacier in the
  southern hemisphere. The Moreno Glacier is the largest glacier in Patagonia.
  
  I find it curious that news reports do not mention these two glaciers.
