"Himalaya Glaciers - including Mount Everest, K2 and Nanga Parbat - are actually growing.

"These are the biggest mid-latitude glaciers in the world," John Shroder of the University of Nebraska-Omaha said. "And all of them are either holding still, or advancing."

Not only are the glaciers advancing, 87 of the glaciers have surged forward since the 1960s, says a recent article in Discovery News

more unbiased info refutes a corner stone of alramists

"The global warming doomsday writers claim the
ice sheets are melting catastrophically, and will
cause a sudden rise in sea level of many metres.
This ignores the mechanism of glacier flow which
is by creep: glaciers are not melting from the
surface down, nor are they sliding down an inclined
plane lubricated by meltwater. The existence of ice
over 3 km thick preserving details of past snowfall
and atmospheres, used to decipher past temperature
and CO2 levels, shows that the ice sheets have
accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years
without melting. Variations in melting around the
edges of ice sheets are no indication that they are
collapsing. Indeed 'collapse' is impossible."
