Just remember, climate change can mean hot, cold, wet, dry. Basically, anything they want in order to support the Religion Of AGW, of which Al Gore is the high priest
Argentina’s Perito Moreno glacier is one of only a few ice fields worldwide that have withstood rising global temperatures.
Nourished by Andean snowmelt, the glacier constantly grows even as it spawns icebergs the size of apartment buildings into a frigid lake, maintaining a nearly perfect equilibrium since measurements began more than a century ago.
“We’re not sure why this happens,” said Andres Rivera, a glacialist with the Center for Scientific Studies in Valdivia, Chile. “But not all glaciers respond equally to climate change.”
Actually, not all that many glaciers have been fully studied, and certainly not for the long term. There are lots of reasons why some are retreating and some are growing. Sometimes it is man causes, such as the deforestation around Mt. Kilimanjaro. Mostly, it is just natural, a part of the current overall warming cycle of the Earth.
And, if they aren’t sure why it is growing, how can they be sure about why they retreat?
