Today the New York Times is hysterical about retreat of the glacier at Glacier Bay, Alaska.
The Big Melt Accelerates – NYTimes.com
That glacier retreated 50 miles between 1790 and 1892. Retreat has been much slower since the 1940’s. As usual, the New York Times is showing the intelligence of Monty Python witch burners.
Glaciers retreating is a good thing. We can handle that.
Glaciers advancing is a really, really bad thing. We can’t handle that.
When New York City is back under 10,000 ft of advancing glacier, the NYT will no doubt be whinging about that too.
Only if “Women and children to suffer most” from 2 miles of ice.
Sometimes I like to think that here in the heartland we have a modicum of common sense, but then I saw an article in the Guardian in which Minnesota’s John Abraham teamed up with Dana at SKS, to pitch a manure wagon of unnecessary rubbish. .
The thinking has become so skewed that the ideologues do not recognize the magnitude of their foolishness.
The NY Times got rid of the smart ones in 2009 and kept all the reality challenged ones.

When Glacier Bay was completely choked with ice in 1760, CO2 must have been 0 ppm!
We need to get toxic CO2 back down to 0 ppm asap. Wait. What?
i’m confused
