it has absolutely nothing to do with CO2.
Out of interest, how much CO2 do you think we would need to pump into the atmosphere in order for it to
have a difference?

Because dude, I've been to Glacier National Park. It's happening.
Because taking vacations and watching movies makes you an expert on scientific topics.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. :sly:

There's no point in giving the people who deny it citations, because they are obviously too stupid and stubborn to comprehend the science.

.. Glaciers are melting yes, at exactly the same time that the poles are growing somewhere else
Uh, where exactly?

In his ice box, close to the Heineken plateau.

Northpole, it's growing, didn't you know?

er...it does that..in WINTER.
The polar ice cap grows and shrinks over the course of the year as the northern hemisphere gets colder and hotter, respectively.
The degree to which it regrows each winter is getting smaller however, and it may disappear entirely next summer. Since the albedo of "large expanse of ice" is higher than "large expanse of water", this further increases planetary temperature.

I'd like to see how Fragony explains the extinction of the polar bears when we get around to that in a bit.
THEY'RE NOT EXTINCT THEY JUST MOVED TO ANTARCTICA

Ow. Et tu New Zealand et tu. Manipulation.
edit: polar bears are doing just fine, and they certainly aren't on Antartica that are pinguins
edit:Just to make it absolutely clear, there are no polar bears on Antartica, there never were
