To get a feel for just how dishonest climate reporting is at the BBC, check this piece out.

Below, I measure the size of the glacier in 1940 on Google Earth – 0.6 miles long X 0.3 miles wide. Basically a medium sized snowfield.
In the top picture (1996) in the article, their “huge” glacier was about a quarter of a mile long.
No doubt the glacier was bigger 18,000 years ago, and that many glaciers have disappeared since then – including the one that covered Canada, Chicago and New York.
Alpine glaciers are also in full retreat. Unprecedented I tells ya!
Maybe 1940 had unusual snowfall or maybe there was a drought in 2007. One glacier is hardly overwhelming evidence.
