Argentine glacier advances despite global warming

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier is one of only a few ice fields worldwide that have withstood rising global temperatures.

Nourished by Andean snowmelt, the glacier constantly grows even as it spawns icebergs the size of apartment buildings into a frigid lake, maintaining a nearly perfect equilibrium since measurements began more than a century ago.

"We're not sure why this happens," said Andres Rivera, a glacialist with the Center for Scientific Studies in Valdivia, Chile. "But not all glaciers respond equally to climate change."

"We're not sure why this happens...But not all glaciers respond equally to climate change."

But they all respond equally to local warming by melting, and local cooling by advancing. What a concept.

I love it when the global warming movement has to prepare people for the results of their lying eyes.

This is more brass plated cr*p from the AP. ANY competent reporter would know, for instance, that the Western part of Antarctica is gaining ice, while the Eastern part is losing ice. But the part that is gaining ice is twice the size of the one that is losing it.

Why is that? Because the Earth has been cooling for at least three years. ANY competent reporter would know that as weill. Once concludes therefore that the AP does not have ANY competent reporters.

Cooling for 3 years?

I guess the environmentalists’ work has paid off then...they did it, they turned global warming around./s

The article said — Argentina’s Perito Moreno glacier is one of only a few ice fields worldwide that have withstood rising global temperatures.

Ummm..., the temperatures haven’t been rising, in fact, with the solar minimums that we’ve been having (the sunspots), we’re probably in for at least a decade of colder weather.

It’s not the sun that *directly* affects the temperatures here, but it does so indirectly.... (1) sunspot minimum, leads to (2) reduced solar wind, which leads to (3) increased cosmic radiation on earth, which leads to (4) increased cloud cover, when then leads to (5) reduced temperatures on the earth’s surface (as a result of the increased clouds covering up and shielding a greater part of the earth from the sun).

That’s the way it works...

It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite *another* to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...

THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply *one* video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the *one*...


The following is an *excellent* video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

“The Great Global Warming Swindle”

If you want to download it, via a BitTorrent site (using a BitTorrent client), you can get it at the following link.
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3635222/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle
[this is a high-quality copy, of about a gigabyte in size...]

It’s worth seeing and having for relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers to see.

Also, see it online here...
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/great_global_warming_swindle.php
[this one is considerably lower quality, is a flash video and viewable online, of course...]

Buy it here...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WLUXZE
[this one would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...]

Also, in split parts on YouTube...

"We're not sure why this happens"

But we are sure that there is global warming and that it is Bush's fault.

You’re welcome... and be sure to show everyone you know, too... it’s a strong documentary on the subject.

It does not seem implausible that a warmer temperature might temporarily lead to more rapid motion of some glaciers.

Rising global temperatures... exactly how much have they risen? And over what period of time?

Foolishness.

Man Made Global Warming will go down as one of the great hoaxes of the 20th century. With Hitler Diaries, Piltdown Man and even Al Capone’s Tomb. In fact that is what Al Gore is - he is Meltdown Man, a slightly different form of Piltdown.

I am astounded it has gone this far. Even with extricating water vapor, i.e. clouds from their models, which is 95% of greenhouse gases (because they do not understand them), they continue to make these arrogant claims.

The tide will turn in the next 10 years as the sun goes quiet and temps drop.
