Two New Reports Say....
Geoffrey Lean is Britain's longest-serving environmental correspondent, having pioneered reporting on the subject almost 40 years ago. (according to the mast head at Telegraph.UK) Well he has got a hold of two new super scientific reports that say that for sure glaciers are melting and it is all man's fault. But I don't want to discuss that directly. What I want to look at are some of the comments. coltek on Jan 27th, 2010 at 2:37 pmI detect a note of scepticism. But in fact there is a list of expanding glaciers. And that is not the only list. I have a list of twelve more glaciers that haven't heard of global warming. And the first on that list of 12? Himalayan glaciers are growing, not shrinking. Oh. The humanity! How embarrassing for the IPCC. And wouldn't you know it, some folks who do not claim to be scientists have predicted that if the Himalayan glaciers keep growing at their present rate they will cover the Earth in 47,359 years(plus or minus 3.29 months) or less . It is way worse than we thought. Rocky on Jan 27th, 2010 at 3:38 pmClimate Scientists can work really fast. Peer review (was it reviewed?) that normally takes months can be done in a matter of days if the science is right. JohnRS on Jan 27th, 2010 at 4:16 pmA Classical Music Fan. Me Too! cheshirered on Jan 27th, 2010 at 5:13 pmPublic support for Catastrophic Man Made Global Warming (CMMGW) even in the USA is dropping precipitously. And speaking of precipitation, time for another song. Hamish Redux on Jan 27th, 2010 at 5:40 pmHamish, it is worse than we thought. They are already gone. iain on Jan 27th, 2010 at 9:45 pmAh a sceptic. (Well it is a Brit paper. And I do like the Brit spelling.) MSimon on Jan 27th, 2010 at 11:53 pmHmmmmmm. That name looks familiar. I think the reference to Chicago in a Brit paper gives the show away. I confess. Guilty as charged. JohnT on Jan 28th, 2010 at 1:14 amJohn has been watching far too many American gangster movies. He must be an Edward G. Robinson fan. andrewb on Jan 28th, 2010 at 6:54 amSo many cynics. So little time. That is all the fun we have time for now folks. But tune in tomorrow for the next episode of It's Worse Than We Thought.

Alan, What worries me is the missing mile of ice that used to cover Chicago. If we keep losing it at that rate in a hundred years or less it will all be gone. M. Simon · January 29, 2010 12:30 AM Post a comment

Is the glacier growing in area or volume? Ask that about each glacier that's apparently growing.
And keep in mind that sometimes it can be too cold to snow, the fact an area is experiencing greater snow during the year could indicate it has gotten warmer there.
