Part 3: Reports of glaciers shrinking repeatedly appeared in print, over a century ago.

View of the Palisade Glacier below North Palisade, California; Jeffrey M Roe. 

Below are the copies of four pages of an 1882 California Geological Survey Report.  The survey was the result of the California gold rush.  The motivating topic was gold-bearing gravel (aka auriferous gravel.)  Glaciers came into the topic anyway.  That's glaciers throughout the world.  

The bottom line is that notable glacier shrinking  (aka receding) was occurring in the 1870s & 1880s, when the atmospheric CO2 was extremely low, proving that CO2 is NOT the driver of climate and the cause of glacial melt.  There is not enough of it in the sky, for it to drive any climate.

Below:  At the very least, look at "July 27, 1903."  Then look at, "MELTING GLACIERS."  This is a report of the famous Jakobshavn Glacier of Greenland.  It was receding 121 years ago, when co2 was 297 ppm.  For a 53 year period, up to 1902, the glacier melted eight miles.  Then, in the vicinity of 2016 to 2019, the same glacier was reported as having had three consecutive years of ice gain.  Climate is cyclical, much like the phases of the moon.  It waxes and it wanes.

 Below:  This 1952 newspaper article claims that the glaciers of Montana's Glacier National Park have been shrinking rapidly since the Year 1900.  Measurement statistics are included in the article.

  Above:  Written 73 years ago, when co2 was 312 parts per million, 117 ppm lower than March of 2025.

All of these samples should help you realize that you have been told a long line of lies about climate history and the present climate.  Look through newspaper and magazine archives, yourself.  The recent claim of a "climate crisis" has all been a con game, played by the media, fund-raising scientists, and money-grabbing politicians who want re-elected. The doomsayers all have a financial conflict of interest.  Thus, they are NOT unbiased.  You don't have to submit to Mind Dictators.  Go and be free.

Below is a report on Antarctic Ice per se.  It's very important to view.  At least skim through it.  At least look at the opening paragraphs.

And of course, you can venture-off on your own and discover more reference sources.  If you have the time and money to do an in-depth ... deep-dive ... investigation of the world's many glaciers, then you would be doing many a person a favor and a half.  Some of us don't have the money or the time or even the health to go into such a deep dive.  And of course, if there were a Climate Crisis, you would know it.  You wouldn't have to wait for CNN or Tim Walz or Barack Obama or Greta to tell you.
