Are you forgetting rates of change?



Rates of change - glaciers? Not much data.

Rates of change - temperature? Already covered that.

Rates of change - precipitation? Data?

As can be seen above, the Waggonwaybreen glacier in Svalbard, Norway, has retreated substantially since 1900. Svalbard's glaciers are not only retreating, they are also losing about two feet of their thickness each year. Glaciers around the world have retreated at unprecedented rates and some have disappeared altogether. The melting of glaciers will affect people around the world, their drinking water supplies, water needed to grow food and supply energy, as well as global sea levels.

Lack of precipitation. A glacier by its very nature will slide downhill. It must eventually run out off wet stuff. What temperatures have been recorded at the glaciers? Over what period of time? Do you have data other than pretty pictures of glaciers in distress?

What causes them to advance?

I have provided examples of retreating glaciers from many different continents and countries (and I haven't finished yet). You aren't seriously suggesting that precipitation has decreased all over the world over the past 150 years
Or are you just trolling again. Making ridiculous statements which you know are false

You have not shown any data at all. To what temperatures have the glacier basins risen? Above or below zero? Has the atmospheric pressure changed? Have glaciers advanced and retreated in that time?

Pictures only represent one moment in time.

Look it up yourself. I'm not your lacky.
I have provided a thread showing how the worlds glaciers are retreating over time. If you have an issue with it then that's your problem.

Yep. No data. Don't forget how, according to the IPCC cloud cover is also probably net warming. So many variables, so little (no) data.
