It is the total amount of ice that is melting not whether one particular glacier is growing or shrinking. The sea levels indeed are rising. All you have to do is see the pictures of Pacific Islands and Bangladesh (as already mentioned). You should know that. As the wind currents change patterns around the world some areas are going to get warmer than normal others will get cooler.

Alaska's Hubbard glacier is advancing 7 feet per day. http://www.iceagenow.com/Growing_Glaciers.htm Then there's the ultra-dishonest global warming scientists who hide the data like - 19 Feb 09 - The ice is melting! The ice is melting! . . . Or is it? In May, 2008, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) predicted that the North Pole would be ice-free during the 2008 melt season because of 'global warming.' Today, they admitted that they've underreported Arctic ice extent by 193,000 square miles (500,000 square kilometers). They blamed the error on satellite problems and sensor drift. Liars, damned liars, statistics, global warming scientists!

If the planet is not warming, why are glaciers melting so fast? Are these people imagining that they don't have enough water as they used to? Comment by a scientist in that article. "The effects are appearing much more rapidly than we can respond to them, and a reservoir takes five to seven years to build. I'm not sure we have that long," said Edson Ramírez, a Bolivian glaciologist who has documented and projected the glaciers' retreat for two decades. The retreat has outpaced his wildest predictions. He had predicted that one glacier, Chacaltaya, would last until 2020. It disappeared this year. In 2006, he said El Alto water demand would outstrip supply by 2009. It happened. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/67a30cb7052742c1adbd9e6065866...@dual ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
