Yikes! So if either of the polar ice caps melt we'll flip over. And Australia will be where North America is. And if it wasn't for Australia, Madagascar would be where Tunisia is.

(yes, it's humor for the too serious people here).

There actually are some glaciers that have been growing. There is a new glacier on Mount St. Helens. The largest glaciers in the lower 48 are found on Mount Rainier. They have been for the most part incredibly stable over the last 100 years. The Carbon glacier which is one of the largest was reportedly in a growing trend. We have had a warmer and dryer summer than normal so I would expect all of them to retreat a little this year but nothing too spectacular. It is an active volcano so I am relatively certain that there still will be some ice left when it blows again sometime in the next century or two.

We’ve caught them lying way too many times to even bother with checking the facts on the lies any more.

Yep. And what's just as bad, they will smear anyone who does not agree with them. All debate has been shut down. That's not just junk science, it's a form of soft fascism.

Consider the image in post #1. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if it has been altered to fit the narrative. The USGS I'd trust (somewhat), but that WGMS website, who knows?

There’s a story in the OT that goes like this (paraphrasing):

The trees wanted a king, so they asked the mighty oak and he said, “I’m too busy providing shade. Go ask someone else.” They asked the eucalyptus tree and he said, “I’m too busy providing food for these koalas. Go ask someone else.” And so on and so forth through the olive tree and all trees. Finally they got to the bramble and said, “Would you be our king?” “Of course,” answered the bramble.

Kakocracies are born of this longing for a king.

Why is it that when glaciers in Greenland melt, they often find ancient Viking settlements?
