Guardian, 15Apr2012: "3D altitude maps captured by satellites show glaciers in part of the greater Himalaya range are bucking the global trend of continued ice loss"
Guardian, 15Apr2012: "The glaciers are still shrinking – and rapidly"
h/t Dwayne in Reader Tips.
Ignore the evidence! Stick to the script.
Those are denier glaciers, obviously in the pay of big oil.
"The burning question is not if, but how fast, land and sea ice will disappear, and what we can do to mitigate and adapt to these changes."
Environmentalists contradict them selves constantly, but this is almost bizarre,doing it in the same Paper.
And if the glaciers DO melt away to nothing,so what?
The back and forth between AGW proponents and anti-AGW theorists proves only that nothing is "settled" and that the "Pro" forces are unreasonable fear mongers who won't listen to any argument which isn't in total agreement with their position.
Call me an ignorant peasant, but right now I'm more concerned with the SC playoffs,in which OUR Vancouver Canucks are proving once again that they have as much character as the members of the IPCC.
how stupid can these rectums get??????
Journalism at its finest. They wonder why they have no credibility ?
Trying really, really hard to keep the fear growing...
finally,an article that doesn't blame 'global warming' for an ice-related disaster...well, not directly

The more they propound this stupidity after most people know its a con. The less folks will believe anything they have to say. I call that good news
Reminds me of the bank that was buying MBS and selling MBS at the same time. At least we know the firewall is in place. Either that, or they're just stupid. I usually go with the simpler hypothesis.

Global down, parts of Himalayas not. What's the contradiction?
The second headline is unnecessary.
Oh, Dizzy, Dizzy, Dizzy. You are always so far back you think you're in front. Try to keep up.

It's a simple problem,actually. See the 1st story was sent to press before Mann had a chance to propagandorize and mal-adjust the numbers/figures.The Guardian will get some fingies slapped by the IPCC/UN for this.
peterj.....thanks for the post to dizzy. Saved me the time.
The Green Reaper has a body count of over 50,000,000 because of the greenie ban on DDT. Imagine the death toll when greenies ban (regulate/control) affordable energy, the lifeblood of civilized society.
I don't fear catastrophic climate change.
I fear climate change legislators in green jackboots.
Alright, fess up, who is painting the sides of the Himalayans white to cover up the fact that the glaciers are melting?

Sure peterj
I may not be in front, but I think I am ahead of you
My last comment there was blocked. It would have answered all your questions.
So to summarize, glaciers pulsating dangerously, no doubt will get smaller as a result, Bush to blame.
Global Sea Ice: Above normal
Penguins: Double ok
Antarctica: Cooling
Glaciers: growing
Temperatures: Some lower than 1944
Coral: just fine
Sea Level: Tide gauges show no change
Sea Level: Satellites falling from the sky in shame over the last minute adjustments
Bruce, you forgot the Polar Bears, they are thriving!
Exact date and time for both.
Must be that newfangled "Quantum Reporting".

We are in a post ice-age period. The glaciers were receding long before the carbon dioxide increased. I forget whether the Columbia Glacier or the photo display there showed the toe of the glacier at different dates and it was receding 100 years ago.
My question is still: "who put all those manmade artifacts, villages and mines under those glaciers ?" you know, the ones that keep showing up when the ice melts...sort of looks like those glaciers aren't supposed to be there in the first place and the 'normal' state of the earth is with them gone...but there's no money for the goreacle in celebrating longer growing seasons, more arable land and fewer people freezing to death...pity this last winter's deadly European cold snap that paralyzed countries and killed hundreds if notthousands didn't get much press here but the few warm days we received thanks to a cyclical pacific system made headlines as 'global warming'...even if it was record snowfalls and is still snowing in Alaska, California, Colorado and parts of the Rockies
