Of course. You have to modify, falsify and manipulate data to make it "true".

Almost every glacier on the planet is melting. True.

What an outlandish statement! Only in the summer...

No, not just the summer. Year after year the glaciers are getting smaller. It's happening all over the planet. Eventually many of them will no longer be glaciers. They will completely disappear in the summer. That is a serious problem for people who depend on them for water. It's also overwhelming evidence that the planet is warming.

You obviously missed my point David.

Anyway back to Glaciers.

Ok then so all the glaciers are melting. Much of the North of Britian used to be covered in snow and ice a long time ago - upto 1km thick! When the world population was small. How come when the world population was so small compared to now this ice and snow was already in retreat?

There are lots of natural reasons for warm and cold periods. There are changes in solar activity, there is volcanic activity, and there are also changes in sea currents. Right now the heating appears to be the result of humans. At least that's what the scientists are saying.

I agree with this first half, these are all good ideas.

O, maybe thats why I dont agree or at least Im not convinced because I am a layman. Are you a scientist David?

I don't speak the language. You should at least speak the language of the country you move to its only respectful. Besides, I get sun burned easily.

My understanding is that we're due an ice age, and human activity is merely putting it off, if human activity is making any difference whatsoever, and that hasn't been determined. Eco stuff makes great news but get into the detail and nothing is proven yet.

I'm all for global warming and melting ice caps. By the time it's finished my house on a hill will be by the beach!

Glaciers are remains of ice ages and cold periods in earth's life. They WILL MELT, with or without us.
