Mt. Shasta glaciers keep growing, despite warming

What???
No PP reading rightwing geniuses claiming Al Gore paid for this slanted view of scientific reality?

They must all be vacationing this week...

:)

No point anymore. The PP and many others believe "global warming" is actually real.

I'm done arguing about speculative science.

HERESY!

you dare not mock Gorebull Warming!

You mean GlowBULL Whining.
:)

Does this mean that we not all gonna Die!!!!!

I quote from the artical

"MOUNT SHASTA, Calif.—Global warming is shrinking glaciers all over the world, but the seven tongues of ice creeping down Mount Shasta's flanks are a rare exception: They are the only long-established glaciers in the continental U.S. that are growing."

and

"It's a bit of an anomaly that they are growing, but it's not to be unexpected," said Ed Josberger, a glaciologist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Tacoma, Wash."

also

"On the mountain, precipitation falls as snow, adding to the glaciers enough to overcome a 1.8 degree Fahrenheit rise in temperature in the last century, scientists say."

how that proves that climate change isen't real is beyond me.

or global warmongering

In the entire country, there is only one mountain where the glaciers are actually growing.

Hey, that's enough proof for me that global warming is utter nonsense made up by lying degenerate pervert scientists on government payrolls getting filthy rich while corporate oil CEO's are starving.

Show me the figures as to the temperatures over the last 10-20 centuries and lets compare what has happened to temperatures during that more significant time period. It is a statistical lie to use one time period and call it a trend. Global Warming Theory uses very weak science to try to make it seem legitimate.

But it is a trend, warming over the last 100 years. Whatever happened before that isn't going to change the fact that temperature has risen over the last 100 years and glaciers have receeded worldwide.

Meteorologist Says Money Behind Warming Alarmism 'Can Corrupt Anybody'

“You know, there was some great power in that movement back in January of 2007,” Spann said.“It’s pretty rapidly running out of gas and it just seems like every day more and more people are coming out with the fact that that’s pretty much a hoax. And these are Ph.D climatologists that are pretty much saying what I said all along.”

There is no media jihad against or BIG GREEN like there is against ‘BIG OIL’.
We "subsidize" oil companies maybe fifteen cents a gallon ( not a "tax break" but rather the ability of the oil companies to deduct their exploration costs as expenses on their corporate taxes - something most industries already enjoy. It’s not as though Congress is paying Exxon each year to sit around with their thumb up their collective arses.

Gorebull Warming is the 'End of Times' religion for those who don’t have a religion or faith.

Just ignore it and see if the world self destroys. Yeah, that makes sense. I think you should watch this video:

But 100 years does not prove that global warming is caused by man or anything man is doing. You cannot establish a statistical norm by looking at just this century. What if we are finally going to have the earth warm to what is really a normal temperature after a period of cooler than normal temperatures. How do you know? There are no records of temperatures from earlier periods. A real scientist would admit that they can only estimate or guess what the temperatures were.

Still enamoured by the Lovecraftian scare tactics, I see

It's not time that tells us human activity has a warming effect, but physics. That the Earth has warmed recently just makes it harder to write-off.

There isn't really a "normal" temperature. But then again a temperature change in a certain decade over many decades must have a cause that can be identified. You don't need to know what temperature was doing 5000 years ago to try and identify the cause of temperature change in the last 100. Plenty of observations from aircraft, ground stations, buoys and satellites should help identify the cause.

Hilarious ! Was it you who warned AlBore of the coming catastrophe?

Again, Ug! Ug! Cave man see strange sky. Must sacrifice goat to please gods.

It wont be lone until we need to have restrictions to stop global cooling.

For all of you who failed to complete your education, let me point out that there's a vast difference in "global warming" and "climate change".
It is going to get warm where it was once cold and cold where it eas once hot.
It's going to flood where it used to never flood and there are going to be severe storms where there once were none.
And the earth will survive handily, no matter what we do.
BUT- if we aren't careful, the earth will no longer support human life in the future.
Then we're in deep kimshee!
