Let's see, by this logic, if I want more ice cubes, I should open the door to the freezer. I thought we've been told that glaciers were shrinking due to global warming. Now it seems they're growing due to global warming. That global warming is an amazing thing. It seems that whatever the weather happens to be doing at the moment, global warming caused it.

They found warmer winters and cooler summers,

And apparently global warming also causes cooler summers. We should all be applauding global warming. Warmer winters , less energy used to heat homes and cooler summers, less energy used to cool homes.

This global warming thing is a win win all the way around.

Milder temperatures and less energy usage.

Dammit, and I have been faithfully using aerosol deodorants and driving Hummers for the specific purpose of getting rid of those pesky glaciers.

The Chicken Littles won't be happy about this news.

Unless you have one of those thingies that dispenses the ice through the door.

What causes the glaciers to grow is more snowfall on them. More precipitation is thought to follow from warmer ocean surface, an oversmplification.

But is is true that an ice age is not the same as a cold age.

Maybe it is different in the Himalaya but our European glaciers (I am from Germany close to the Alps and NO Kyoto-lobbyist) are unquestionably melting away.

Counter-logically then, if global cooling ever makes a return visit, we'll all have beach weather around the whole planet.

Global Cooling is bad, and Global Warming is bad. I guess the Kyoto types long for the days when the weather ran like clockwork, when summers were hot but not too hot, winters cold but not too cold. When was this idyllic time, exactly?

[bybybill]

Global warming is just like "heads, I win, tails, you lose".
Just remember that GW is the new cash cow for universities, politicians, and our old pals, the lawyers. We are all in big trouble.

[pissant]

FOr f*cks sake, I guess I can blame my jock itch on gl0bal warming too.

Don't tell Al.

These people need to study something else.

[South40]

I hear all the world's sponges are dying and that is the cause of the oceans rising. /s

[staytrue]

The way it works is some glaciers are where it is sort of cold and some are where it is bitter cold.

The glaciers where it is just sort of cold will shrink when it gets warmer due to ice melt. The glaciers where it is bitter cold (himilayas, antarctica) will get bigger because when it warms up, it snows more due to higher humidity but it is still so cold, that the melting is negligible.

[aquila48]

Read all about it!! GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES GLOBAL COOLING!!

When it comes to double speak the environazis can teach Orwell and the Communists a thing or two.

[vigilante2]

boy this global warming is really causing havoc!

[aliquando]

I have never quite figured out the exact benefit of glaciers from an ecological point of view. Sure they look pretty and have made some nice lakes up north, but it is just a river of ice. Is there a keystone species that depends on glaciers?

[norwaypinesavage]

global warming is the ideal Bogey man. Any weather anywhere is proof of global warming.

[wildbill]

First it was nuclear winter, then just a few years later it's global warming, then predictions of a coming ice age.

Now this; global warming good for glaciers which hold most of our significant resources of fresh water which....

I CANT STAND ANY MORE OF THIS!
