No, the growing polar ice, advancing glaciers, and snowstorms in April do that. The low gas prices predated the Covid 19 pandemic and were a result of the US becoming the number one oil producer in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polar ice volume, glacial ice volume, frequency of snowfall are indicators of global warming? These are your words, do you care to confirm that with more specific language. For example is it just snowfall in April or is it volume of snowfall in a region, in the world, over a year, over a season etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was about solar flares, as in the things that happen on the sun, an object 93.7 million miles away from Earth. The person asked him if it's because of global warming and he had to very politely answer without calling her an idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some one should go tell those stubborn glaciers that they should not be here. BTW those are the same computer models that tell us that we are facing catastrophic climate change.

I'm glad you brought this one up so quickly, thought I'd have to keep a mental pin on it for months until you found the famous "glaciers not melting" plaque. So...as you agreed above, "glacial ice volume" is a measure of the rate/existence of global warming, not "A" glacier of your choosing. You can find glaciers that are increasing in volume because there are many that grow with yearly polar vortexes and since the Antarctic region is at a fair equilibrium some shrink there and some grow. So my question to you, do you get that? Do you understand and agree that the global volume of these things is what matters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And of course he found one "GOTCHA" after your list of 7 regions that disprove his point. Let's continue to the specifics of Glacier National Park where this sign is from and has since been removed. Of their glaciers 11 are no longer considered glaciers because their volume has decrease so much they no longer move. Here is the loss in GNP: https://www.usgs.gov/data-tools/area-named-glaciers-glacier-national-park-gnp-and-flathead-national-forest-fnf-including Here is the global loss in volume. According to Brent's own words, it's climate change. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-glacier-mass-balance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I get that, but I also get that the glaciers have been shrinking for the last several hundred years, long before this AGW nonsense. My contention is that it is part of a natural cycle. If the climate were responding to the input of CO2, the glaciers would have been gone by 2020, just like the models predicted, they didn't and the models were/are WRONG.

The glaciers in question, did not come into existence until 7000 years ago. Fact The glaciers have been melting for the past several hundred years. Fact Climate models predicted the glaciers would be gone by 2020. Fact The glaciers are still here. Fact The climate models were wrong. Fact How is that trolling?
