Glaciers in Alaska are growing.

Glaciers grow for two reasons: snowfall and cold. Warmer sea temperatures for incoming storms off the Pacific coast or Gulf of Alaska result in more snowfall - sometimes a helluva lot more snowfall. Those in snow country have seen this — too cold often results in not much snow, temperatures just below freezing often results in lotsa snow. As long as the temperatures on the glacier prevent too much melting (only below 32 F, not below 0 F) so that more snow accumulates than melts, the glaciers will grow. In normally extremely cold areas, a slight increase in temperature results in a helluva lot more snow — more than enough to make up for warmer summers.

...has projected the storied snows at Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro might disappear by 2015.

There has also been a lot of deforestation around mt kilimanjaro. Though very localized, that is about the only human-caused global warming climate change that I can see as being possible.

Global warming is shrinking glaciers all over the world, but the seven tongues of ice creeping down Mount Shasta's flanks are a rare exception: They are the only long-established glaciers in the lower 48 states that are growing.

Mighty, fertilize your whole garden, heavy duty BS ping!

Even where glaciers really are retreating, it cannot be blamed solely on temperatures. It could instead be due to less precipitation, i.e. Kilimanjaro. The alarmists don’t want to talk about that.

I don't bother reading an article that starts with a lie.

Mt Shasta is one gorgeous mountain!!

Here’s a (partial) list of the
specific glaciers that are growing:

The Russians don’t believe the IPCC forecasts, but they do believe their own eyes.

In 2002, a 22-million ton piece of ice broke off the gigantic Maili Glacier and crashed down a steep gorge into the village of Kami. It killed more than 150 people and injured hundreds more.The 500-foot wall of ice had been growing for six years. The Maili Glacier is just one of several glaciers in the North Caucasus Mountains that have been expanding at an alarming rate.

Other towns in the region have been partially buried by these advancing walls of ice. One local scientist in southern Russia said, “We may be seeing the beginning of a new great ice age!!!”

IT'S A CATASTROPHE!

Must be one of those obstinate right-wing glaciers.

The new economic machine of Global Warming will kill us all!
AL GORE, YOU LIE.

Now where is that cfc thread that “creates” warming. Dots Dots Dots

Global warming is shrinking glaciers all over the world,

They start off with a lie, giving credence to global warming and telling a lie about shrinking glaciers. At least they told the truth about Mt. Shasta.

I have it on good authority that the phenomenon is attributable to the Lemurians

Samantha needs to examine her sources of information.

"When people look at glaciers around the world, the majority of them are shrinking," said Slawek Tulaczyk, an assistant professor of earth sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who led a team studying Shasta's glaciers. "These glaciers seem to be benefiting from the warming ocean."

Slawek needs to do the same.

From Mt. Shasta and south into the Mayacamas, that area is filled with bizarre cults like I AM and Bhagwan followers. They’re buying up land and building barbed-wire compounds. When I lived in the area, I always carried a pump shotgun and strapped a magnum on my hip, in case I met feral dog packs or feral hippys. So not only are glaciers growing, so are the number of brainless robots as they migrate in.

That would be a great area to go into and write a book about these cults, but you’d probably disappear within weeks.

Isn't this an old story?

But still true. I posted this pic before...Mt Shasta taken in June of 2006.
