Dear o dear Grendel.

It might be a good idea if you actually read your article about Norway Glacier advance before posting it (or perhaps you did but didn't understand it)

Quote:
Global warming means not only that more ice melts in the summer, but also that more moisture is sucked up from the oceans and falls as rain or snow. Some parts of Norway have had record summer temperatures - and record snowfalls

Norway's western glaciers are among the best monitored in the world. They have tended to shrink since the 18th century but have begun to grow again in the last year or two


So the very recent advancing of a few of Norway's glaciers, as confirmed by your own posted article, is due to increased snowfall.

Nowhere have I claimed that every glacier in the world is retreating, but the vast majority are,  and the few that arn't are advancing due to local conditions.

You do realise that in very cold areas like Norway global warming will produce more snow because the warming temperature is still below freezing.

I especially like how you have highlighted the word "ice" in the article while remaining completely ignorant about the context it is being used in.

Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

OH DEAR OH DEAR I DID READ IT...  if you read more about glaciers you'd know they advance and retreat regularly..... Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

As for snowfall being caused by global warming...  listen up stupid...  global warmists state that we will have less precipitation until we have none...  and temperatures will keep rising until there is no cooling...

The extreme argument is we will turn the Earth into a version of Venus...

You cant have your cake and eat it to barny Boy.

Strawman argument Grendel. No one actually said what you are claiming. You are just making stuff up.

I stand by the fact that the vast majority of the world glaciers are retreating.

Well then why have the vast majority of the worlds glaciers been retreating for over 100 years?

Here are some more pictures of Portage glacier in Alaska

"Earth could turn into a hothouse planet like Venus, with boiling oceans and acid rain, if humans don't curb irreversible climate change, physicist Stephen Hawking claimed in a recent interview."

But most climate experts say that scenario is a dramatic and implausible exaggeration: Relative to Venus, planet Earth is much farther from the sun and given its chemical makeup will never have such a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, so it could not likely reach temperatures of 482 degrees Fahrenheit (250 degrees C) that Hawking described in the interview, they say.

The claim by Barny was "No one actually said what you are claiming."

Clearly Hawking did. Did you not understand that?

Now seeing as Hawking is something of a poster child for AGW, are you saying his prognostications are not relevant when they disagree with "most climate experts"?

Of course it also means then, by corollary, that some "climate experts" agree with him. Wink

Facts are that a vast majority of the worlds glaciers are retreating and only a small number are advancing due to local conditions.To say that "some are and some arn't" is a complete distortion of the facts. Something that the deniers are always doing.

Breashears, who has reached the summit of Mt Everest five times, writes:

Trekking in Tibet, not far from the northern slope of Mount Everest, I carried with me a black-and-white photograph taken by the great English mountaineer, George L. Mallory, in 1921. It showed the ice-encrusted north face of Everest and, below it, the great river of ice known as the Main Rongbuk Glacier, flowing in a sweeping, S-shaped curve down a broad, stony valley.

Eighty-six years after Mallory took that photograph, I sat in the exact spot where he had snapped his iconic picture. Pulling out his photo, I was stunned by the changes that had swept over this region. The wide river of ice had retreated more than half a mile, leaving a field of separated ice pinnacles melting into the rocky ground. In the distance, the ice streams on Everest's flank also had shrunk, exposing more of the mountain's dark face.
