Michael Moore [weighs in]

If you exiled [Republicans] to a lone chunk of melting polar ice cap, they would keep insisting that it was just a normal "January thaw," even as the frigid Arctic waters rose above their God-fearing necks ("See what I mean -- this water is COLD! What 'global *warming*'?! Adam and Eve rode dinos...aagghh!!... gulp gulp gulp").

Our glaciers are growing, not melting - More falsehoods from Al Gore

Yes, glaciers are growing in the United States.

Look at Washington State. The Nisqually Glacier on Mt. Rainier is growing. The Emmons Glacier on Mt. Rainier is growing. Glaciers on Glacier Peak in northern Washington are growing. And Crater Glacier on Mt. Saint Helens is now larger than it was before the 1980 eruption. (I don't think all of the glaciers in Washington or Alaska are being monitored either.)

Or look at California. All seven glaciers on California's Mount Shasta are growing. This includes three-mile-long Whitney glacier, the state's largest. Three of Mount Shasta's glaciers have doubled in size since 1950.

Or look at Alaska. Glaciers are growing in Alaska for the first time in 250 years. In May of last year, Alaska’s Hubbard Glacier was advancing at the rate of seven feet (two meters) per day - more than half-a-mile per year. And in Icy Bay, at least three glaciers advanced a third of a mile (one-half kilometer) in one year.

Oh, by the way. The Juneau Icefield, with its "positive values," covers 1,505 square miles (3,900 sq km) and is the fifth-largest ice field in the Western Hemisphere. Rather interesting to know that Gore's own source admits that the fifth-largest ice field in the Western Hemisphere is growing, don't you think?

But this mere handful of growing glaciers is just an anomaly, the erstwhile Mr. Gore would have you believe.

Well, let's look at a few other countries.

Perito Moreno Glacier, the largest glacier in Argentina, is growing.
Pio XI Glacier, the largest glacier in Chile, is growing.
Glaciers are growing on Mt. Logan, the tallest mountain in Canada.
Glaciers are growing on Mt. Blanc, the tallest mountain in France.
Glaciers are growing in Norway, says the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE).
And the last time I checked, all 50 glaciers in New Zealand were growing.

But this is nothing. These glaciers are babies when you look at our planet's largest ice masses, namely, the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets.

Contrary to what you may have heard, both of those huge ice sheets are growing.

Climatism - EcoReligion

Climatism is the belief in anthropogenic global warming (AGW) and its doomsday effects, without resort to rational thought. This is part of a recent trend in eco-religion in Western society, where science is ignored but scientific words are used as cover as part of the belief system.

So Sad — And So Telling - Chris Horner - Planet Gore on National Review Online

Remember our friend "Dr." Tom Karl, the first appointee to head the nation's new Climate Service? He was "Dr. Karl" — thanks to a 1970s PhD, or so he had written — until, well, he wasn't?

Today, plowing through 1,500 pages of e-mails just dumped on me by NASA — to, I get the feeling, forestall the inevitable litigation they knew became ripe this week — I see the following e-mail from the good doctor to James Hansen...

Ted Nugent's advice to students: Stay in school, don't do drugs and watch Glenn Beck | - MLive.com

According to the Oakland Press, a Shrine Catholic Academy and High School student asked for Nugent's views on global warming.

The outspoken Republican responded with this gem: "Global warming is a fraud. Watch Glenn Beck."

Exclusive: [Insane ravings of] Dr. George Woodwell

The response to the [email] vandals is to bury them with the data and experience of a century of scholarly research and analysis. The information that is important in making the decisions as to how to manage our world is unequivocal and must be advanced, not as questions at the edge of scientific knowledge where scientist like to dwell, but as the facts that they are, facts as immutable as the law of gravity. The climatic disruption is not a theory open to a belief system any more than the solar system is a theory, or gravity, or the oceanic tides, or evolution. This approach is uncompromising, partisan in the sense of selected for the purpose. It is not a lecture to undergraduates; nor is it ecology 101. It is a clear statement of what is required for government to do its job in protecting the public welfare. The scientific community has a firm responsibility in this realm now. This is not the time to wring our hands over the challenges to hyper-scientific objectivity, the purity of scholars, and to tie ourselves in knots with apologies for alleged errors of trifling import.

That’s the opening paragraph of a statement Dr. George M. Woodwell emailed me yesterday. Woodwell, founder, Director Emeritus and Senior Scientist at the The Woods Hole Research Center, was responding to some “private e-mails obtained by [the uber conservative newspaper] The Washington Times,” including one of his that has been misrepresented.

His statement continues:

The fact is that we, humans, have changed the composition of the atmosphere with respect to heat-trapping gases enough to start the progression of global climate, not into a new steady state, but into an open-ended warming that is pulling the environment out from under this civilization.

[But he's not even a climatologist!]: George M. Woodwell: Information from Answers.com

George M. Woodwell, born 1942, has been an environmentalist for many year and is an ecologist.

Woodwell founded the Woods Hole Research Center in 1985 in Woods Hole, MA as an institute for global environmental research. He remains its President and Director and is currently running major research programs to study the ecological effects of ionizing radiation on vegetation, and the role that biotic systems, especially forests, play in global warming.

In 1997 he was awarded the 3rd Annual Heinz Award in the Environment.
