How dare you challenge the narrative with facts.

Never mind that now...they were at all time lows several years ago. Bout the time Al came along with his Gorebull warming.

What people will not understand is that there were NO GREAT LAKES JUST over 15000 years ago.

Don’t worry. The river will soon return to its old level once there are enough muslim migrants pissing in the streets of German cities and villages along its banks...

Thanks for posting.. i thought it was so hot, the glaciers vaporize. Now, i bet some silly teacher taught you that water vapor forms clouds and rain in the water cycle...
Looks like we missed catostrophic climate change, lets just shut everything down and ride out the last few hours in LA.. a bunch 2A folks, on the beach. After we withdraw every dime from the banks. The yellow vests did a bank run and it got attention

‘The alps are melting.’ Hard to put those words against the avalanche pix from just last week. Just sayin’

Periods of maximum glacial ice (we are still in the “Ice Age”) have SEVERE droughts. All of the water is locked up into the ice (think miles thick at Chicago and the south pole as well).

Warming will of course cause glacial-fed creeks and rivers to run lower as the glaciers get smaller. (And finally drying up once the glacier is gone). But overall, more water into the hydrologic system.

Gee, I wonder would happen if it all froze? Warming or cooling, something is going to break.

IOW: $#!t happens.

Yes and no. The old one is over, the new one is about to start. :)

Some pretty sharp Russians have been saying that for 20 years, and I say if the sunspot activity lulls for a decade, they'll be proved right.

Glaciers have been shrinking for 20,000 years.

But the sea is going to rise!? Wouldnt warming cause more rain and the cold dry up the land... indeed. It seems physics of how the dehumidifier works in my house goes out the window

But the stop glaciers from vaporizing global tax sounds more important.

That doesn't make any sense. If the glaciers were rapidly melting the resulting water would run off into the Rhine making the river rise.

If they have been slowly melting and shrinking in size, it may be a different story.

People are saying that the "Little Ice Age" ended in the mid-19th century, so shrinkage may not be anything humans caused.

Yup. And we’ll be wishing for global warming.

Global warming is a [secular] religion.

Thus you are a heretic and probably deserve burning at the stake.

These people may dress differently and carry iPhones, but they are just as primitive as their superstitious ancestors of 500 years ago.

Was the Rhine River a mere trickle during the Medieval Warming period?

Did it dry up completely during the Roman Warming period?
