I am not surprised that a glacier above 4000m isn't melting :lol:

Hi,
Gore keeps rattling on about some glaciers that might be shrinking...but he never tells anyone about the ones around the world that are actually increasing in volume...funny that.
Heres to a long ,cold ,dark snowy winter.....with some lovely sunny days around the first two weeks in April :D :D

No, but he should and so should Obama since Gore is the ONLY reason why he got it. But this isn't the place for politics. I was worried about the whole warming thing. Thinking after 30-40 years I wouldn't be able to ski anymore, or worse yet raise a family on the snow.
No one EVER mentions that the glaciers on the southern hemisphere (correct me if I'm wrong). It's a ploy for the government. The world if getting warmer, but isn't it coming out of an ice age?
I'll also hope for a bitterly nasty cold winter. More days at work
Uh oh, I think I broke'd the lift

If you poke around the "intraweb thing bob" long enough, you'll find all sorts of science research and studies, taken out of context, or cherry picked for contradictions. Look for the preponderance of science, not the cranky sites promoting a few exceptions as QED.
