As this thread has shown, glaciers have been retreating globally for the past century or so. So the driving force must be global.



Except some are NOT retreating. Therefore it is NOT global. Therefore it must be regional.



Wrong as usual lee
The vast majority of the worlds glaciers are retreating so the driving force is global
The few that are not retreating are due to well understood local factors

Poor petal trying once again to be to understand the meaning of life.

It is 42 petal. Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

global - including or affecting the whole world:

regional - relating to or coming from a particular part of a country or a particular part of the world:

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english

So regional can cover almost the entire globe while global is the entire globe.

Capiche?

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. 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? Grin Grin Grin Grin

"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”."

David Viner CRU East Anglia

"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_snowfall

USA - "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."

https://snowbrains.com/top-snowfall-events-history/

"Starting in October these storms have dropped a lot more snow than average over Greenland, particularly on the eastern side and in the south. 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. "

You do know the new meme is that global warming will increase precipitation? And winters that are below zero it will likely fall as snow?
But do tell us more. Wink

Great!- Since we agree on that fundamental point why are most of the glaciers retreating then?

The warming since the LIA. Do you want us to go back to then again?

Glaciers are dynamic. They advance, they retreat. That is why old Roman gold mines are revealed by retreating glaciers. Climate Change innit? (as Bammy once said). Wink

Or perhaps you think they should remain static or only advance?

I wonder what is causing the warming... Any theories?

Well in 65BC it could have been natural, apart from all that horsepower the Romans were using.

And I see no reason not to think it is largely the same now. Wink

well, At least you've accepted that the climate is getting warmer, and that the glaciers are receding. That kind of limits your arguments against AGW to saying that the current warming is caused by historic, non-anthropogenic causes.  If its a natural reoccurring forcer which is causing the current trend, why the current warming is so much faster than any previous global historic period?
