Beautiful pics.

It would be interesting to see photos of the Himalayan Glaciers that aren't melting --

Oh, there are some photos in these articles -

brome,

Thanks for this: it is important to keep in mind that even though certain, mostly illegitimate and outdated, sources suggest that not all glaciers appear to be diminishing, the ones that are diminishing still pose evidence of serious environmental problems about which something must be done.

Wondering sincerely why people who don't apparently understand how glaciers form, insist on writing blog entries about the subject; who are they really working in aid of? . . .

Some believe the world is flat, some in the hollow earth theory. Some that evolution didn't happen and can't happen...etc...

Right on.

That's the old false accusation - "If you don't believe in MAN MADE 'Global Warming', You Don't Care About the Planet".

I don't know if we're in Natural Cycle Global Warming or Natural Cycle Global Cooling, but I don't buy that either one is "MAN MADE" and that's what the Global Warming Alarmists are all about -- 'Global Warming is MAN MADE.' (And we will make the Government pass all kinds of legislation (rules and regulations) that will benefit who? because of it)

I don't buy it.

There was quite the broohaha over that recent Doonesbury on certain blogs, lordy was there! I dwell in reality, near common sense and courage(neighboring provinces), so it didn't faze me

KidRaw,

And I mean this sincerely, and I don't intend for you to feel pressured or anything, but if you wouldn't mind: please explain why anthropogenic climate change is a concept you can't get behind. For my part, I think it is logically insupportible to assume that the presence of 6.5 billion large, waste producing mammals, to say nothing of their agricultural and mechanical products, would have a net neutral impact on the planet. It just doesn't make sense. From a math perspective, if for no other reason.

But I know that there are people that have, for example, a religious or economic reason for declining to validate the evidence. This is not a legitimate counter argument, of course, because a matter of science must be evaluated with science, rather than faith, feelings or financial self interest. Still, I understand that those that deny the data for unscientific reasons are entitled to think whatever they wish. If you would rather not admit that you have a religious or material reason to accept the data, that's OK, I'm not insisting. If you had a religious or financial reason to take the other tack, well, that would explain why these threads get so antic

First, with higher temperatures more water evaporates from the ocean, leading to more snowfall. Second, the more rugged areas of the Himalaya have glaciers that are covered with debris from surrounding mountains. The debris insulates the glacier from the warming climate. These 2 effects together cause many glaciers in more rugged regions to remain stable or even to advance in spite of higher temperatures.

Here's a good article:

Perry Officials Censored Climate Change Report

Rick Perry takes Texas pride in being a climate change denier—and his administration acts accordingly.

Top environmental officials under Perry have gutted a recent report on sea level rise in Galveston Bay, removing all mentions of climate change. For the past decade, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), which is run by Perry political appointees, including famed global warming denier Bryan Shaw, has contracted with the Houston Advanced Research Center to produce regular reports on the state of the Bay. But when HARC submitted its most recent State of the Bay publication to the commission earlier this year, officials decided they couldn't accept a report that said climate change is caused by human activity and is causing the sea level to rise. Top officials at the commission proceeded to edit the paper to censor its references to human-induced climate change or future projections on how much the bay will rise.
