      Greenland glacier advancing 7.2 miles per year! 
      The BBC recently ran
      a documentary, The Big Chill, saying that we could be on the verge of an ice
      age. Britain could be heading towards an Alaskan-type climate within a decade,
      say scientists, because the Gulf Stream is being gradually cut off. The Gulf
      Stream keeps temperatures unusually high for such a northerly latitude.One of Greenland’s largest glaciers has already doubled its rate of advance,
      moving forward at the rate of 12 kilometers (7.2 miles) per year. To see a

    Glaciers growing on Glacier Peak, WA
    16 Oct 08 – Email from reader
    Before I moved to CO in 2005 it was obvious that the glaciers and snow
    had receded and rock was visible in areas all the way to the peak. The glaciers
    and snow are back now ... completely covered in white from top to bottom,
    and this is after the "warm" summer months here in the PNW.

    Many people have asked why some glaciers in South America are melting.
    I think it is perfectly understandable. Remember, we have had two of the
    strongest El Ninos on record during the past 21 years. During an El Nino,
    a narrow band of the Pacific Ocean warms by as much as 14 degrees. This
    band of warm water travels east essentially along the equator until it slams
    into South America.
    It seems logical that the increased rainfall caused by El Nino, plus the
    warmer winds blowing across the warmer water, could hasten glacial melt.
    But let me say it again. I do not believe that this is caused by humans, I think
    it is caused by the El Nino phenomenon, which is caused by underwater
    volcanism, which is increasing due to the ice-age cycle.
    With this said, let me point out many glaciers in South America remain
    stable, and some - including the Pio XI Glacier and the Perito Moreno
    Glacier - are growing. The Pio XI Glacier is the largest glacier in the
    southern hemisphere. The Moreno Glacier is the largest glacier in Patagonia.
    I find it curious that news reports do not mention these two glaciers.

    Look at what's happening on Mt. Baker, in Washington State.
    (Mt. Baker is near Mt. Shukson, where glaciers are now growing.) 
    This is a photo of my friend Jim Terrell taken on
    Mt. Baker, Washington. Jim is more than six feet
    tall. See the black line about six feet above his head?
    That's where the snow from the winter of 1998/99
    stopped melting. Above that, is snow that never
    melted from the winter of 1999/2000. Why isn't
    the media reporting this sort of thing?
