Just to get this post back on track from the pedantic quagmire Lee is seeking refuge in, No poo the vast majority of glaciers are retreating.
And nowhere have I said they aren't. Do try to keep up.

You need snow to fall faster than it melts to create glaciers, that's rare now we've increased the temp, hence most glaciers getting smaller.
Really? Snow is now a rare and exciting event?
"However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”."

"The February 2009 Great Britain and Ireland snowfall was a prolonged period of snowfall that began on 1 February 2009. Some areas experienced their largest snowfall levels in 18 years"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_2009_Great_Britain_and_Ireland_snowfallUSA - "The 2016/2017 ski season gave us record-breaking snowfall totals. They called it SNOWMAGEDDON, Janu-BURIED, Febru-BURIED, Miracle March, Awesome April, May Madness, and even June & July blew everybody’s minds. Many resorts extended their seasons. Squaw Valley stayed open past the 4th of July for the first time in their history."

This increasing mass has not gone unnoticed and we have received a number of questions about it, so here we attempt to summarise what we know and can infer about the winter 2016-2017 and what it might mean to the overall surface mass balance year 2016-2017.

But do tell us more.
