Glaciers Grow: Global Whining Scientists Panic
Admit it, these guys have no clue what’s going on…
(BBC News) Global warming could be causing some glaciers to grow, a new study claims.
Researchers at Newcastle University looked at temperature trends in the western Himalaya over the past century. They found warmer winters and cooler summers, combined with more snow and rainfall, could be causing some mountain glaciers to increase in size.
The findings are significant, because temperature and rain and snow trends in the area impact on water availability for more than 50 million Pakistanis. Researchers focussed on the Upper Indus Basin, which is the mainstay of the national economy of Pakistan and has 170,000 sq km of irrigated land - an area two-thirds the size of the UK.
Dr Hayley Fowler, senior research associate at the university’s school of civil engineering and geosciences, said: “Very little research of this kind has been carried out in this region and yet the findings from our work have implications for the water supplies of around 50 million people in Pakistan.“
Did you catch the money quote? Little research has been done, but it’s time to begin the wailing and gnashing of teeth. The agenda is to induce panic to further social and political ends. Give it up already….

If there is a such a thing as “global warming”, then it’s probably God’s judgement.

I’m coming to the point where I’m ambivalent over whether or not global warming is happening. If it is, only a small piece is attributable to human activity. Solar cycles and natural activity have a greater impact than man ever could. The science just doesn’t support it. I don’t think it’s God’s judgment, but rather the natural result of living in a sin-cursed fallen world.
If you’re a secularist with no hope of eternity, of course you’re going to whine and complain about everything that could possibly threaten the planet. It’s all you have. As a believer I’m not as concerned about saving the planet because it’s only temporary. Still, we still need to exercise care and stewardship over the planet as God directed us in Genesis.
