The glacier is growing and the ocean is 'the culprit'.
“Even three years after the cold water arrived, the glacier is still reacting.”
"Still reacting" to cold ocean water - Growing.
Maybe the heat of the polar bears was melting it, and when they all died off in 2020 the glacier began to expand again.
This glacier is obviously a climate change denier. Bad glacier! This glacier must be punished, although I’m not quite sure how.
It is quite possible that with all the various feedback mechanisms the earth global average surface temps are actually quite stable, with warming somewhere offset by cooling somewhere else, and all due to long cycles of changes that move water and air patterns and currents, gradually but constantly.
New data collected in March 2019 confirm that the glacier has grown for the third year in a row, and scientists attribute the change to cool ocean waters.
Glacier growth is caused by weather. Glacier shrinkage is caused by climate change.
Dirty Jobs removed it from it's website years ago.
Did they consult with the retarded teenager before announcing this data?
Isn’t the retarded teenager the Highest Scientific Authority On Planet Earth?
To read between the lines, I bet they will suggest, that this growing glacier is going to melt someday, and when it does, that’s when all the coastal cities will get flooded.

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! We are finally entering the NEW ICE AGE and WE ALL GONNA DIE!
Quick. Send me money and I will stop it!
Greenland, You could still sell to us before you’re completely Glaciated.
Third year? You mean since the election of Donald Trump? Now Trump is not only responsible for reducing cancer deaths, but in curing the planet. Something Obama could not do...
But, “science is science” (except in gender identity)...how can they put this on a bumper sticker !
When I was a kid the fear was of coarse, that industrial and vehicular pollution was causing global cooling. At that time the temperatures where we lived were in cyclic decline and the glaciers on nearby Mt. Raineer were growing. I had a science teacher who took volunteers on a field trip once a year to survey the Carbon Glacier which is the lowest glacier in the lower 48 states. It along with other glaciers on the mountain had been growing during that time period.
The park service has said that since 1970 the glaciers on Mt. Raineer have lost 18% of their volume. This is of course “cherry picking” the data because the glaciers lost a lot of ice during the 1930s which were warmer in rural areas in the US than they are today. But the 40s through the 70s were cooler and the glaciers advanced. Almost more important however is the amount of precipitation falling on them and whether it is rain or snow which depends largely on the time of the year that it comes down.
It used to be quite easy to get a view of the Carbon Glacier which has not changed a great deal since I was a kid. But the park service has not repaired the road that goes up to it for the last 20 or so years so it has been an additional 5 miles of hiking each way to see it. The roads that have good views of southern facing glaciers which have receded more in the last few years have been kept in good repair.

...and...suddenly...IT’S WEATHER NOT CLIMATE!!!
We can have no damned glacier growing!
This location on the west coast of Greenland is where the iceberg that sunk the Titanic is understood to have come from.
