Growing Glaciers!!

Although the media has done a great job of covering this up, the inconvenient truth is that all seven glaciers on California's Mount Shasta are growing. This includes Whitney Glacier, the states largest.

Mt. Shasta

Not only are Mt. Shasta's glaciers growing, two have nearly doubled in size.

Both the Hotlum and Wintum Glaciers have nearly doubled in size since 1950 says this article on Wikipedia. The Bolam Glacier has grown by half, and the Whitney Glacier and Konwakiton Glaciers have grown by a third.

Scientists first became aware of these growing glaciers in 2002. Now, nine years later, most media outlets refuse to acknowlege these glaciers are growing.

There was a record snowfall of 98 inches in March of 2010.

The City of Mount Shasta, sitting at the foot of the mountain about midway between San Francisco and Portland, Oregon,has broken a 108-year-old snowfall record for March with 97.9 inches, according to the National Weather Service. The old mark of 88 inches was set in 1903.

Glaciers Are Also Growing In Washington And Alaska

Mt. Rainier

Mt. Saint Helens

Let's take a look at Washington State. The Nisqually Glacier on Mt. Rainier is growing. Glaciers on Glacier Peak in northern Washington are also growing. Crater Glacier on Mt. Saint Helens is now larger that it was prior to it's 1980 eruption.

Hubbard Glacier

Now, let's take a look at Alaska. Glaciers are growing in Alaska for the first time in 250 years. In May if 2008, the Hubbard Glacier was advancing at a rate of 7 FEET per day.... That's more than half a mile per year. In Icy Bay, at least three glaciers advanced a third of a mile that year, as well.

Fifth-largest ice field in the Western Hemisphere also growing
 

Juneau Ice Field

And the Juneau Ice field, which covers 1,505 square miles and is the fifth-largest ice field in the Western Hemisphere, is also growing.

According to Michael Zemp at the University of Zurich - one of the scientists that Al Gore likes to quote - "some positive values were reported from the North Cascade Mountains and the Juneau Ice Field."  ("Positive values" means "growing".)

Why is no one reporting this? Better yet, why do people still believe the garbage that Al Gore is feeding us?
