Part 1: Reports of glaciers shrinking repeatedly appeared in print, over a century ago.

More specifically, American newspaper & almanac reports of severe glacier melt appeared in print from 1872 to 1879.  Newspaper reports of worldwide glacier melt also appeared in print in 1881 ... 1902 ... 1905 ... 1907 ... 1910-1912 ... 1915 ... 1922 ... 1925 ... 1927 ... 1934 ... 1938 ... and in 1952.  

There was also a California Geological Survey Report published in 1882 which was a history lesson of glaciers past, going back to the Year 1818.  Even in 2005, there was published (first in French) a detailed proxy-evidence research report which covered the state of the glaciers in Bolivia & Peru, dating back to 1590.

         Directly below is a 112 yr old newspaper article, from 1912, when the CO2 and Methane                    levels were much lower than there are today.  That news article is a Climate Deja Vu.

****************************************************************

90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume, is WATER VAPOR.  CO2 does NOT compare.

Glacier Diminution is NOT a never-before-experienced phenomenon.  The rise & fall of glacier size does NOT parallel itself with the atmospheric CO2 level in any capacity.  Glaciers have been known to "wax and wane" and even disappear with time, regardless of the amount of CO2 found outdoors and amongst the clouds.   

All in all, glaciers do NOT act in tandem with the CO2 level and/or the methane level and/or the very minute nitrous oxide level in the atmosphere.  After all, methane contains merely 1 carbon atom and its present outdoor level is 1.9 parts per million.  Nitrous Oxide carries no carbon footnote at all, being that it contains ZERO carbon atoms, and its present atmospheric level a mere 0.3 part per million.  That's one-third of a part per million.

Glacier advance and/or glacier retreat is NOT commensurate with the CO2 level and/or the methane level and/or the nitrous oxide level outdoors.  Neither CO2 nor methane nor nitrous oxide rules the glaciers in any capacity at all, whatsoever, in the least.

In statistical specificity, the atmospheric CO2 level in 1872 was only 288 ppm.  In 1922, it was 304 ppm, and in 1952, it was a moderate 311 ppm.  Those years of low atmospheric CO2 were years of high glacier melt ... or they were years into the advanced stage of prolonged glacier recession.  Therefore, according to the Al Gore Theory of Atmospheric CO2, glaciers should not have undergone any significant melt in the 1870s or in the early 20th Century.  Thus, Al Gore is proven to be invalid.  Meanwhile, in March of 2025 the CO2 level reached 429 parts per million.  

         Below is the original & unedited version of the same article which was first published in 1910.        Each of the two versions carries one bit of info that the other version excluded.

****************************************************************

One more Introductory Example:

A certain farmer in Peru is suing a certain corporation, claiming that the defendant corporation is causing the nearby glaciers to wane ... to retreat ... to recede ... to shrink ... to melt ... to disappear, due to "carbon emissions."  And of course, the nearby glaciers are the CORDILLERA mountain glaciers, along the Andes mountain range.  

Well, the glaciers throughout the Cordillera Mountains were reported to have been "retreating" as far back as 120 years ago.  Furthermore, a 21st Century proxy-evidence research project found that those Peruvian Tropical glaciers reached their largest size in 1720 and then began to recede ever since, amidst intervals of "stabilisation."  

Below:  In three parts:  is a newspaper article which reported on the glaciers' ice loss throughout the world ... in 1904 ... when the atmospheric CO2 level was only 297 ppm.  That amounts to 132 ppm LESS THAN TODAY.  Keep in mind that, throughout the Medieval Era and the Renaissance Era, the CO2 level hovered mostly at the 284 ppm level.  At the end of the last major Ice Age, the CO2 level was 180.  During the Persian, Macedonian, & Roman Empire Years, the CO2 level was 260 ppm.  

The article below also makes mention of the glaciers in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, in Peru.  For the record,  there are presently 722 glaciers there, in that Tropical region.  530 of those glaciers are on the western side, while 192 glaciers are on the eastern side. Moreover, 91% of those glaciers are mountain glaciers.

            Directly below is Part 1 of a 1904 newspaper article.

                Directly below is Part 2 of the same news article.

              Directly below is Part 3 of the same January 1904 news article.

Above:  Let me go one step further, concerning the "Tropical Glaciers" of Peru and even Bolivia.  In 2005, Comptes Rendus Geoscience published, Dating of Little Ice Age glacier fluctuations in the tropical Andes: Charquini glaciers, Bolivia, 16°S.  [A. Rabatel et al., C. R. Geoscience 337 (2005)]

The conclusion was that the Andes glaciers achieved their largest size  ... their glacial maximum ... between 1590 and 1720 AD.   This maximum was ...

              ... "followed by nearly continuous retreat (with three interruptions) 

    during the 18th and 19th Centuries, marked by stabilisation or minor advances."  

The scientific finding was that, "This leads to the conclusion that glaciers in Bolivia, as well as in Peru, have clearly retreated after the 17th century maximum and during the whole 19th century."

                   https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1631071305002063

This means that, when the Year 1900 arrived, the recession of these glaciers was long-since underway, and all times involving this shrinkage of glacier size in the Andes occurred while the CO2 level was very low.  The methane level was also low.   Therefore, this shows that the Al Gore Theory of CO2 Driving Earth's Climate is a bogus theory.

This, therefore, means that "no carbon footprinted greenhouse gas concentration" caused the Andes glaciers to retreat ... to recede ... to melt ... to wane ... to shrink in size.  This glacier waning is something that has been occurring for centuries, long before the "lawsuit defendant corporation" even came into existence.  As a reminder, the lawsuit plaintiff is a Peruvian farmer.

Alaska, in comparison

In comparison to Tropical glaciers, the Arctic Circle State of Alaska presently has approximately 27,000 glaciers occupying 34,000 Square Miles of terrain.   The great irony here is that, during the last major Ice Age,  Alaska was entirely glacier-free, from the Brooks Range to the Alaska Range.  That region was grassland.  In fact, today's Arctic Circle is NOT a massive & uninhabitable iceberg.

Even today, there is forestland within the Arctic Circle, above 66.5N, and up to 72.30N.  It's known as the Taiga or the Boreal Forest, and it covers Canada, the very northern sector of Scandinavian, and Russia.  This includes the White Spruce,  Arctic Willow,  Dwarf Birch,  Larch,  and Scots Pine, as well as the Arctic Dandelion,  Arctic Mouse-Ear,  Moss Campion,  Mountain Avens,  Arctic Bell Heather,  Arctic Yellow Whitlow grass, and other species.  In addition, there are Arctic Circle cities with mild summertime weather.  In fact, 2.3 million Russians live in the Arctic Circle.

Remember, glaciers move and even operate as primitive bulldozers on terrain.  In as much, a glacier needs to be at least 98 feet thick, in order to be capable of motion.  In fact, a glacier's air content is only 20%, whereas freshly fallen snow contains 90% air, and granular ice contains 50% air.  It takes 5 years of compression to make glacier ice.  Such ice transforms from Firn which happens to be slightly aged snow, at 35 lbs per cubic foot.

Glacier Recession ... otherwise known as Glacier Retreat ... is NOT a never-before-experienced phenomenon.  It's a repetitive process within intervals of time.  In recorded scientific history, the acknowledgement of receding glaciers dates back to the later half of the 19th Century.  This is in keeping with the fact that the Little Ice Age ended in 1840 ... with the pending arrival of the warm-weather Phytophthora Infestans which caused the European Potato Famine.   Thus, shrinking glaciers were a topic in journalism.

In preliminary review

The dreaded environmental menace in the sky is PM2.5.  The other environmental menace is the collective glut of synthetic chemicals allowed to permeate anarchically throughout the air space of modern society.  And the great heat retainer is actually asphalt.  

In fact, cirrus clouds are a more effective retainer of infrared light/heat than is CO2 and methane combined.   Methane exists at 2 parts per million is the sky outdoors.  Plus, every methane molecule is four parts Hydrogen, compared to only one part Carbon.  In the 1990s, it was recognized as the cleanest burning fuel.  Then came Al Gore and the dishonest Michael Mann who was recently cited a second time for fraudulent pleadings in a court of law. 

Come and learn how much "people in power & influence" lied to you and the rest of humanity

Within this discourse: There are over two dozen pieces of photo-copied evidentiary support here, to prove that Glacier Recession ... aka glacier shrinkage & severe glacier melting ... had long since been identified, in cyclical intervals of time, very much before the noted rise in atmospheric CO2.   There is also the previously mentioned 1882 California Geological Survey Report that was a result of the then-recent California Gold Rush.  It's content constitutes invaluable information.  Incidentally, the atmospheric CO2 level in 1882 was 291 parts per million.

These pieces of evidence also show that there is NO CLIMATE CRISIS of any kind today, consisting of any type of "never-before-experienced" weather event.  Whatever the weather event was in the past five years, it has happened before, at a greater intensity, when the CO2 level was much lower than it is today.  This includes heatwaves, droughts & forest fires, as much as glacier size.  

As a comparative example, it was reported that the 2023 American heatwave death toll for July was 2,300.  Earlier in May of 2023, 995 died in the American Northwest heatwave.  Well, in the 1911 American East Coast heatwave, there were approximately 2,000 deaths induced by that heatwave.  

In fact, during the same Summer of 1911, Paris had one of its three tragic heatwaves.  In a seventy-day period 41,072 people died in France, from the heat.   The other two tragic heatwave years in Paris were in 1976 and in 2003.  In fact, there was also the report of a deadly Parisian heatwave in 1636, as well as in 1718.  And take note that 1636 was before the Industrial Revolution.

Concerning this, keep in mind that the 2023 population of Planet Earth is far greater than was the 1911 population, especially as it concerns the American West which was basically New-Land in the early 20th Century.  However, the important feature of today is that there is more asphalt in the cities than there was in the early 20th Century.  This is especially the case out West.  In as much, asphalt is the ultimate trapper of heat.  In the 21st Century, there are Heat Islands which happen to be metropolises.  

Asphalt is an undeniable problem, concerning summertime surface temperatures.   The small amount of CO2 in the sky is not the problem.  Particular Matter smaller than 2.5 microns is the ultimate environmental problem, concerning the outdoor surface area of civilization.  Indoors, the environmental scandal is the glut of synthetic chemicals which end up in lungs, endocrine systems, water supplies, refined foods, and the air we all end up breathing.  Not CO2.

Statistics from the  Ghost of Glaciers Past

Concerning the 24 or so pieces of evidentiary support within this post, one of them is a statistical analysis which shows that there was not that much glacial ice loss in the Alpine Region between 1973 and 2016.  Yet, that was when the outdoor CO2 Count was on the rise.  Thus, according to the Al Gore Theory of Climate, those glaciers and all glaciers should have been shrinking at a rate equal to the rise in atmospheric CO2.  But, they did not melt in tandem with CO2's rise.  

In fact, it was 1979 when there was the most Arctic Sea Ice Extent in recorded history, showing the Al Gore & Michael Mann CO2 Climate Theory to be non-factual.  The 1979 CO2 level should have prevented this record high Arctic Sea Ice Extent number.  

The fact that the rising level of CO2 did not stop the 1979 sea ice parade proves that CO2 does NOT drive the climate, as the Al Gore & Michael Mann People claim.  The Sun drives the climate, along with ======>

          ~ Pressure Gradient Forcing,  ~ the Tilt of the Earth, and ~ the Coriolis Effect 

  which also causes a 90-degree descending sea motion effect, called 

~"Eckman Transport."  

In fact, the 23 1/2 degree Tilt of the Earth is the sole cause for the four seasons in the middle latitudes of Planet Earth.  It's the sole cause for the 6-months-of-day & six-months-of-night at the Polar Caps.  All in all, it's now concluded that CO2 does NOT drive the climate.  The Sun does.   

Moreover, CO2 is NOWHERE NEAR the Predominate Greenhouse Gas.  Water vapor is, by far.  All in all, the Earth's Climate is much like the Phases of the Moon.   It waxes and wanes.  End of preliminary tutorial.

In Part 2, you'll get to read at least 14 photocopied newspaper articles of many decades past which reported on shrinking glaciers.  Some of those newspaper articles are over 100 years old.

Part 2: Reports of glaciers shrinking repeatedly appeared in print, over a century ago.

 

Intro to the article post ... article ... tutorial ... discourse ... writing.

The part of Pittsburgh where I live is the part where exists four colleges, including Pitt and the Carnegie Mellon which gave the world its first robotics institute and a number of actors who became household names.  Therefore, I'm an East Ender, and this is the area where you will find many a person native to lands far away.  This includes the Himalayan region of Planet Earth.  Specifically Nepal.

Well, I was talking to a couple of natives from the Himalayan mountain region whom I know on an informal and casual basis, and I said, "I guess that all the glaciers in the Himalayas are shrinking."  One of them instantly said, "No.  They're growing."   The other Himalayan gentleman then mentioned how brutally cold it gets in his Himalayan hometown.

Despite the claim of a climate crisis by a Biden Administration known for its liars ... and an U.N. known for the same type of liar ... the United States had a couple record high crop yields in 2024.  In fact, crop success has been the American way of recent years, and crop yield success is the opposite of a climate crisis.  

At present, some of the Earth's glacier clusters are growing, while other ones are receding.  Thus, Joe Rogan, Donald Trump, Michael Schellenberg, and Randall Carlson had distinct historic reasons for calling  " this Climate Crisis" a hoax.  

The irony to this repeated crop harvest success is in the observation that the Al Gore People claimed that a rise in CO2 would guarantee crop failure throughout Planet Earth.  Well, it's CO2 which causes the photosynthesis which causes the crops to grow, in the first place.  The members of the Al Gore Propaganda Team apparently have no idea how asinine they sound.  Professional growers inject added CO2 into their greenhouses, for greatest yields.

If you are interested in looking at a couple news reports on the 2024 American harvest, refer to the links below.  If not, then feel free to move on to the glacier topic presented in this discourse.  And remember, this is a discourse for novices ... for people who have been totally deceived by the American public school system and the mainstream corporate media, as well as the Biden Shadow Presidency.

Below are photo-copies of newspaper articles dating back to the very early 20th century.  Also below are links to pertinent tutorials of scientific information.  These articles teach us that, eighty-five years ago, as well as one hundred and twelve years ago, scientists were telling mankind that the glaciers all over the world were melting away.  

Drastic glacier melt in the Swiss Alps was reported 122 years ago.  Deja vu, folks.  That which happened to the glaciers in recent years have happened to them 8 to 10 to 12 decades ago.  Climate History repeats itself, just like regular history does.

In review:

~Swiss/Alpine Glacier Ice Loss was a small percentage from 1973 to 2016.

~True MAJOR Alpine Ice Loss was identified & catalogued from 1902-1936 & 1950-1952.  

~In 1912 & 1927, it was Canadian glacial melt.  In 1936, ice loss was reported in the Dolomites.

~In 1950, it was Norway's Black Ice Glacier that was predicted to vanish.  It still exists today.

~Worldwide Glacial Retreating was reported in 1910 & in 1939.

~Between 1900 and 1938, Montana's Sperry Glacier went from 840 acres in surface area to 390. 

A Report from the Ghost of Glaciers Past

In the early 20th Century, the CO2 count went from 297 to 312 ppm.  That's very low when compared to today.  Yet, there were climate catastrophes in the first three decades of the 20th Century and in the last three decades of the 19th Century ... as well as a drought in the middle of the 19th Century ... and a vicious potato and wheat famine, too.  Add cholera epidemics as well, and one would have concluded that the End of the World was going to happen in the 19th Century, when the CO2 count was low.

In comparison to 1902 & 1922, the Year 2022's atmospheric co2 count was 417 ppm.  It was 422.43 ppm in 2023.  In 2024, it was 425, due to the increase in Eastern Asian and Southern Asian coal-burning power plants which need more filtration.  

Plus, water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas.  It's 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume.  And you're not going to be able to get rid of water.  It comprises 70% of Planet Earth's surface.

We begin with a newspaper article dating back to 1902, where within it is reported that the Swiss glaciers were receding.  This was 120 years before the mainstream media kept rattling off the cliche "Climate Crisis."  In fact, one glacier melted 800 yards, from 1876 to 1902.  The Year 1876 was 148 years ago.  Glacier melt was even cited in 1872.  

I have repeatedly stated that nothing which occurred in the weather throughout the past 5 years was new.  Whatever the type of weather event that transpired recently happened previously, 50 to 75 to 100 to 175 years to 575 years prior, and it often happened more intensely.  See for yourself: 

This November 1902 newspaper article above states:  "In Switzerland, the studies of many years have determined the fact finally that the glaciers are not only steadily receding, but that their rate of recession is becoming greater each year.  There are only a few glaciers that still grow.  The Poveyre glacier in Canton Wallis is the only one that has increased since 1892.  The famous Rhone glacier has receded almost 800 yards since 1876."

Above:  A 1911 article out of Alaska and then published in Denton TX and elsewhere.

                

                       *************************************************************

Below: 109 years ago, it was reported that all of the Swiss glaciers were shrinking.  So, if you read an article today which says that Swiss glacier melt has not happened in the past 1,000 years until now, then you are reading a liar.  

        Above:  1,000 feet shrinkage in the past ten years.  It refers to the Year 1915.  This has all happened before.  The mainstream media and Biden Administration, along with Kerry, Nye, and Gore have been lying to humanity, all along.  Some type of legal action MUST BE TAKEN, against the liars who have been emotionally traumatizing American & European schoolchildren.

       ****************************************************************************

 Below:  Braidwood Dispatch & Mining Journal, New South Wales; Weds, Sept 28, 1910, pg 4.  This shows us that, as far back as 1910, the worldwide  MELTING OF GLACIERS was common knowledge amongst the maritime industry, explorers, researchers, and journalists.  

From 1850 to 1910, the famous JAKOBSHAVN GLACIER melted FOUR MILES.  Yet, it still exists in 2025, even to the point of having gained size, from time to time.  Thus, the End of the World narrative of Michael Mann and the Biden People was one big lie, much like everything else said by the Biden People.  The Number 1 commodity lacking during the Biden Years was the truth.  

       **************************************************************************** 

Note:  The co2 count in 1927 was 306 ppm.  In March of 2025 it was 429 ppm. 

                *******************************************************************

This was published 74 years ago, when the co2 level was 312 ppm.

Above: The 1950 Prediction that the SVARTISEN GLACIER of Norway would be gone by the Year 2000.  That particular glacier still exists.

******************************************************************************

Below:  As of 2022, the Svartisen Glacier has been the 2ND LARGEST one in Norway, at 142 sq miles in size.  It certainly did NOT disappear by the Year 2000, as was predicted by experts in 1950, and as was reported by AAP-Reuters.

This is only a small part of the glacier which did NOT vanish in the Year 2000.

                       ********************************************************** 

Below is a super important lesson in how fast glaciers form.  In 1916, there was no glacier there, in Mounta Danello, Italy.  Rather, there were 15 Austrian soldiers there.  Twenty years later (1936), a glacier melts and reveals the soldiers' remains.  It didn't even take twenty years for the glacier to form.  Thus, glacier size is quite flexible over relatively short periods of time.  Glaciers can form quite rapidly.

     *************************************************************

Below:  A receding glacier in 1912, when co2 was at 301 ppm.  It was receding a mile a year.  Thus, we have yet more evidence that the 2020s are not unprecedented or unique, in any capacity at all, whatsoever, in the least.  

 

   ***********************************************************************

Below: Newspaper report of  January 14, 1939, when the co2 count was 311.  That's 118 ppm LOWER than in March of 2025.  Yet, it states that "geologists all over the world" were puzzled by the continuous retreat of ice glaciers.  That worldwide glacier retreat occurred 85 years prior to 2024.  Thus, any glacier retreat reported today, tomorrow, or next year is NOT something unprecedented.   

    *************************************************************************

 Below:  An 1872 newspaper article.  The scientists at the time contended that it was the "hot winds of Africa" which were "gradually melting the Swiss glaciers."  The bottom line is that, as far back as 1872, the shrinking of Swiss glaciers was a known phenomenon.   In 1872, the CO2 level was 287 ppm.  Today it's 429.  According to Al Gore and Michael Mann, the Swiss glaciers should not have been melting in 1872.  Yet, they certainly were, proving Michael Mann and Al Gore to be wrong in their overly-ridiculous CO2 Climate Theory.

 *********************************************************************************

Below:  Swiss glaciers shrinking in 1907, when co2 was 299 ppm; 130 ppm LOWER than in 2025.

   ************************************************************************

Below:  In 1905, Swiss glaciers were known to be shrinking.  Yet, the article had a global reach to it.  It mentioned "the fact seems to be that glaciers all over the world are shrinking" ... in 1905 ... 120 years ago ... when the co2 count was only 298 ppm ... 131 ppm LOWER than in March of 2025.  That 1905 article looks a lot like a 2024 news article.  Deja vu to all of you climate crisis peddlers.

    ****************************************************************************

Below:  This article mentions that Swiss glaciers were shrinking since 1922.  And of course, I called 1922 "the Year of the Great Meltdown."  None the less, did you ever hear about the 36 year glacier cycle by which a glacier waxes and wanes, like the phases of the moon?  Well, it's mentioned here:

This article was truncated ... cut ... for the sake of space.

 

             ********************************************************************

Below:  A report that the Rhone Glaciers shrunk a couple THOUSAND FEET in 20 years, thereby averaging 200 feet a year of glacial melt.

As far back as in 1902, people were noticing the gradual shrinking of the Alpine glaciers, to the demise of the tourist industry there.  That's 122 years ago.  So, this phenomenon is NOT new.  It's apparently cyclical, because, during that general time span, glaciers were mentioned as having a waxing and a waning to them, a lot like the phases of the moon.  

In 1902, the co2 level was 296 and a half ppm, 133 ppm LOWER than March 2025.

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.

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.

Part 4: Reports of glaciers shrinking repeatedly appeared in print, over a century ago.

 Let us proceed to the Swiss glaciers of TODAY.

The Swiss glaciers were recently reported to be uniformly shrinking at a disastrous rate ... as of the past two years.  At the least, it is true that the Year 2022 was as hot as was the Year 1922, and 1922 was the year when newspapers and magazines reported the greatest loss of Arctic ice in newspaper history.  Yet, the World did not come to a disastrous end shortly after 1922 ... or even during the Dust Bowl Years of the 1930s.  Far more people died in the 1940s, thanks to Hitler & Tojo.

Now, to discern and identify any land's climate is NOT a mere two year journey.  Discerning Climate is a 30 year process.  Climate is the Trend of Weather.  Climate is Average Weather of the Past Thirty Years or so.  So, let's take a look at the amount of Swiss glacial melt that has occurred between 1973 and 2016, when using eight major glaciers as a sample ... and when judging by length.

Now, there are about 42 or so major glaciers in the Swiss region that have been officially measured.  Eight sample glaciers are below.  You can see the difference in their lengths between 1973 and 2016, in that "table" which people call a "chart."

Now, 2016 was ten years after the Al Gore propaganda movie which claimed that, from the Year 2006 onward, ice melting would accelerate, while hurricanes will intensify.  Thus, the 2016 glacial length readings below should have shown alarming rates of Swiss Ice Melt.  How much of a difference in length are those eight glaciers, between a 43 year period?   Look for yourself.

ANS:  For those who are reading a copy-and-paste version of this discourse ... and who can't see the chart which is actually a statistical table ... there was NOT very much ice loss at all.  It's an insult to the common sensed citizen's intelligence.  

This particular Swiss glacier ice melt survey, for the time span queried, should be filed under "You've-got-to-be-kidding."  Perhaps a person reading this can realize that all that your teachers, politicians, news reporters, and nearby climate activists have been doing nothing more than performing the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.  In the spirit of Michael Schellenberg, it compels one to say,  =====>   What Climate Crisis?   

No weather event or meteorological condition of the past five years is new.  It has all happened before, and at a more intense degree, as well.  The photocopies of historic newspaper clips below tell the true story.  John Kerry does not.  Kerry needs to be filed in the You've-got-to-be-kidding dept, also.  He's supposed to be smart.  But, I don't see it.       

At present, there are glaciers that have been growing very successfully around Planet Earth.  Yet, with a population of eight billion humans, we need more green fields of every sort than we need glaciers of any kind.  No crop ever grew on a glacier.  Crops do not grow on ice.  

Keep in mind that the Swiss glaciers were reported in early 20th Century newspapers to have been severely retreating during the early 20th Century, also.  Thus, climate conditions come in cycles.  

So remember, the Climate Crisis hype of today is a sales pitch for more Congressional Funding & NGO Funding.  NGO stands for Non-Governmental Organization.  This Climate Activism has been nothing more than a bunch of money-grabbers standing up in a crowded theater called Planet Earth and screaming "fire!!!" as loudly as they could.

The irony in Volcanic Eruptions

Volcanoes emit large quantities of CO2.  Therefore, there should be global warming after every volcanic eruption.  However, throughout history the opposite occurred.  Volcanoes brough tremendously painful cooling.  This is because volcanoes also emit Sulfur Dioxide in large quantities, while also emitting CO2 in large quantities

The great irony here is that sulfur dioxide acts as tiny mirrors, deflecting sunlight back into outer space, causing cooling.  In fact, volcanoes have resulted in notable temperature declines on Planet Earth, such as in 1816, due to Mount Tambora's eruption in the previous calendar year.  The prime component responsible for time spans of temperature decline was the large amount of sulfur dioxide which spewed out of the volcanoes at the time.  This was especially the case for the disaster year, known as 536.  

By 541, there was the dreaded Justinian Plague.  That era was known as the Late Antique Little Ice Age which endured until 660 CE.  It was followed by yet more cold bouts, even into the Year 822.  

Some time in the 9th Century came the Medieval Warm Period.  This was followed by the Little Ice Age which existed from 1284 (the start of the Wolf Minimum) to 1840 (When the Phytophthora Infestans infested potatoes in Europe).

Above: Measuring c14 within proxy evidence indicates the volume of sunspot activity.  Beryllium-10 in proxy samples can indicate the level of cosmic rays that made their ways through the Earth's protective magnetic field.  Thus, the more sunspot activity the higher the ambient temperature of wherever you are.   

By the way, BP stands for Before Present ... years before the present time.  Thus, on the graph above 300 Years Before Present  = circa 1720.  And of course, the depths of the Little Ice Age ... when sunspot activity was at its lowest ... was between 1645 and 1710.  In addition, the Oort Minimum was a small span of time within the Medieval Warm Period when things got cold.  It was equivalent to the cold spell of 1940 to 1979.  Weather patterns fluctuate and then repeat themselves.

Now remember, there exists something called conflict of interest.  Today's conflict of interest for the scientist is Congressional Funding, and ridiculously large amounts of it.  Climate funding gets appropriated in the form of [1] Climate Research (which has been the smaller fraction of funding) and [2] Climate "Adaptation," (which has been a much larger chunk of rattling coinage from the congressional "holders of the purse.")  

The outrageously large amount of Congressional Funding is why you cannot instantly take an American scientist for his word.  There is also the conflict of interest known as NGO funding, as well.  People throughout history have been known to tell lies for money.  It's called Theft by Deception.  Concerning this, if a scientist says that there is no climate crisis, then he gets no funding.  So, the claim that there is an end-of-the-world climate crisis outside is a sales pitch.

 Instances of severe weather all happening previously, and even more intensely

In decades and centuries past, the adverse weather events were a modest-to-significant.  This concerns floods, droughts, hurricanes, heatwaves, cold-snaps, and any other type of atmospheric turbulence that is recorded and kept for historical purposes.  For example, in December of 1287, one "storm tide" rearranged the coastline of the Netherlands, while killing 50,000 to 80,000 humans.  

Then came a heavy extratropical cyclone's storm surge on November 18th, 1421.  It also came upon the Netherlands, killing 2,000 to 10,000.  The Grote Waard was destroyed.  Parts of the Netherlands near Holland remained underwater for decades.  

MOREOVER, there is the matter of the Blue Holes in the Bahamas.  Core samples of the sediment can detect hurricane activity of centuries past.  It was reported ... by the mainstream Smithsonian Institute ... that hurricane activity was very rampant during specific time phases in the past.  Yet, CO2 levels were NOT high.  They were much lower than today, thereby abolishing the Al Gore Theory of Climate.  CO2 was NOT causing the rise in hurricane activity between the 1720s and 1820s, as well as during the first half of the 16th Century.

As far as goes today, there are more SHORT DURATION CYCLONES and more LOW GRADE CYCLONES ... inferior to a Category 1 hurricane ... CALLED TROPICAL STORMS.  Gore was completely wrong in having stated that the rise in CO2 was going to cause more intense and more frequent (and even longer-duration) hurricanes.

Attribution here goes to the Smithsonian Institute which "considers megadata to be in the public domain," anyway.  Refer to the following link, for the article attached to this graph.  In as much, cyclone activity, at specific time spans, was eight times more than it was in 2020 or so.  In other specific time spans, the activity was twice and thrice as much as it was in 2020 or so.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/blue-holes-show-hurricane-activity-in-the-bahamas-is-at-a-centuries-long-low-180980235/

Other reports from other scientific entities reported that hurricane activity was really intense in the North Atlantic 2,300 to 2,700 year ago.  These time spans were when the co2 count was much lower than it is today.  Thus, severe weather ... even weather a modest amount of percentage points worse than today ...   happened previously; decades previously, hundreds of years previously, and thousands of years previously.  

This all means that Climate Conditions are cyclical and that CO2 does NOT drive the climate.  The Sun does.  NASA stated that the Sun drives the climate years ago.  Concerning Greenhouse Gases, water vapor is 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume.    

Perhaps you have seen videos where David Attenborough or Michael Mann say that the world's weather was peaceful for a thousand years, without any natural disasters or pronounced cyclones, until the 1700s.  Well, the Smithsonian Institute disagrees.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/bahamas-and-caribbean-have-withstood-hurricanes-centuries-180973157/

Then come the claim of the UN & the Biden Administration Climate People, where it was stated that there was no Medieval Warm Period beyond an occasional local warming in Europe.  There are many 

instances of proxy evidence and recorded historic evidence that it was a global warming period.

The writing linked below was written in prose for the typical novice.  It's very informative, as it gives instances as to why the Medieval Warm Period certainly was a global phenomenon.

https://www.sabhlokcity.com/2019/07/the-medieval-warming-900-1300-ad/#239_Grove__J__M__1988__The_Littl

There is much to convey about the findings of the probable cause of hurricane intensity or lack thereof in specific time spans.  It deals with the Latitudinal Forcing ... involving currents ... instead of climate fluctuations which involves temperature.  This is because the northeastern US landfall hurricanes weren't in tune with the Gulf/Bahama Area cyclones, in detailed research.  Actually, it's all based on Pressure Gradient Forcing, and this scientific behavior of climate has already been explained at the Blue Marble Album.  Such a thing involves Baroclinic Stability and Instability.  BTW, "baro" means pressure, as in air pressure.

Now, a hurricane's intrinsic bio-markers are beyond the scope of this discourse.  The bottom line is that there were many weather events ... including hurricanes ... that were worse decades and centuries ago, when the CO2 count was lower than it is today.  This means that it is a complete lie to claim that the rise in atmospheric CO2 results in more natural disasters, at more intense levels.  Read the writing linked two paragraphs above this one.  It's detailed with enlightenment.   

The other lesson is that, when the world does come to the point where it's coming to an end, you are not going to need Greta to tell you.  You will know, by instinct.  In your personal life today, how bad have things been, when compared to the 1927 Mississippi River Flooding and the 1931 Yangtze River Flood, as well as numerous droughts throughout the centuries?  

And then came western American wildfires so intense that it created the need to publish the Smokey the Bear Fire Prevention Campaign.  Those fires went unchecked for miles at a time, in the 1930s, because there was neither the population nor the technology to curtail them.  In fact, 1934 was declared a few years ago ... by NASA, etc ... to have been the worst drought  year  in the past 1,000 years.  That intense amount of dryness will cause a massive acreage of trees to ignite.

And when it comes to Al Gore's prediction that hurricanes will increase in intensity and number, the truth is that, since 1851 only FOUR of the hurricanes that made landfall upon the Continental United States were Cat 5 hurricanes.   A hurricane or two or three or four or five has turned Cat 5 in an Atlantic Hurricane season, in remote ocean water.  As such hurricanes approached land, their intensities decreased.

The Great Deceit from Congressional-dollar minded scientists today

The great deceit of today is that Category 3 hurricanes in the Pacific Ocean are now called Super Typhoons.  This was done to scare the People into believing that the weather is getting worse and that only those scientists can save the world.  The scientists are committing theft by deception.  Super typhoons are nothing more than average hurricanes and hurricanes have been a part of Atlantic & Pacific History, since the beginning of maritime history.

The early 1960s had the true Super Typhoons in the Pacific, and the world survived quite well afterward.  Only conventional war and a certain African drought made life imperiled on Planet Earth, along with the threat of Nuclear War between the Good Ole USA and the Soviet Union.  A devastating heat wave would come to Europe, in 1976.  Blizzards would hit America.  Weather fluctuates, and it does so because the Earth rotates at a 23.5 degree tilt.  That's called obliquity; a fancy word for tilt.  All in all, Al Gore turned out to be a false prophet who made a ridiculously large amount of money on his "theatrics."

And where it concerns heatwaves, places such as Athens are actually "Rain Shadow Terrains" where it has gotten up to 117F decades ago, when the co2 count was much lower than it is today.  Go and scour through the newspapers and journals of decades and centuries past.  And then learn about "Leeward mountain side adiabatic heating & Chinook Winds."  

Incidentally, Chinook Winds are the same as Foehn Winds and Santa Ana Winds, and such things involve compressed mountain top air which translates into "mountain slope heating" and which involves very dry air.  Such a heat has nothing to do with CO2.  Even when it comes to weather history, history repeats itself, even concerning Santa Ana Winds.   

There are 60+ climate discourses here, at the Blue Marble Album, which can definitely set you free of the terror that Greta endured, at the hands of activists who were emotionally abusing her.  How embarrassing for her, especially in light of the fact that the World did not come to an end, in 2023, after all!  Greta said that a certain scientist said that the world was going to come to an end, unless we hand over all of our freedom to Al Gore-approved scientists.

The #1 proof that the Al Gore, Jim Hansen, & Michael Mann Climate Disaster Predictions were completely false exists in the fact that the Maldives did NOT go underwater by the predicted year of 2018.  The Maldives is a tourist attraction with airfields and hotels.

Roll Call of the Growing Glaciers

Now, for every glacier or set of glaciers found to have been growing, there is always negative press accompanying it, so as to reinforce the belief that the CO2 which inhabits only 0.043% of the sky and which has a radiative forcing of no more than 3.7 watts per meter squared is causing a climate crisis.  There is even one case where a growing glacier was said to have been caused by none other than ... "global warming."  However, it's not a warm glacier.

A major Greenland glacier started to regrow in 2016 or 2017, and the report of its growth was followed by a prediction that the glacier will start shrinking again.  Well, in order for these heavily paid press releasers to be believable, there needs to be numerical empirical evidence of one sort or another.  None the less, it's the Jakobshavn Glacier that was reported.  After its third consecutive year of growing, it fell off the media's proverbial radar.  None the less, it was growing recently enough to merit recognition.

https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/earth-science/water-energy-cycle/cryosphere/jakobshavn-glacier-grows-for-third-straight-year/

Moreover, glaciers in a California mountain range were found to have been growing, while glaciers in an Oregon range were reported as having disastrously shrunk within the same general time span.  More specifically the Hotlum & Wintun Glaciers of Shasta Mountain were found to have doubled in size between 1951 to 2002.  Meanwhile, a few Klamath mountain range glaciers were said to have significantly shrunk, between 1888 and 2013.  Well, if CO2 were the driver of climate, then both glacier sets would have responded in the same way.  Either all would have grown or all would have shrunk.

None the less, the growing glaciers are NOT located in the same general location.  They are all over the world, as in Argentina, Alaska, California, Antarctica, Washington State, Greenland, Pakistan, etc.  They prove that glaciers do NOT respond uniformly to the atmospheric CO2 level, thereby proving that CO2 is not driving the climate.   If CO2 were the driver of climate, then all glaciers would be either growing or shrinking in unison. 

Crater Glacier, aka the Tulutson Glacier.  It's the youngest in the world.  It formed inside the remaining structure of the Mount Saint Helen Volcano which is still active and which is expected to blow within 65 to 260 years.  A volcanic dome started growing there, in 2004.  Two lava domes are there now, along with the horseshoe glacier. 

The glacier within was discovered by aerial photography in 1996.  The glacier was officially reported to have been GROWING in ice volume at a rate of 135 feet per year, in length, and 50 feet per year in thickness, until 2004, when the volcanic dome started growing.  Crater Glacier was said to be 1.71 miles long & 656 feet thick.  It's shaped like a horseshoe.

 See the following, even if you're not a kid anymore:   https://kids.kiddle.co/Crater_Glacier

Hotlum Glacier and Wintun Glacier, both on Mt. Shasta, California.  Both were found to have doubled in size between 1951 and 2002.  There are seven glaciers in all, on Mount Shasta.  All were found to be growing at some time in the 21st Century.  This includes the Whitney Glacier which is larger today than it was in 1890.

Perito Moreno, in the Argentine Patagonia.  It has been advancing at a pace of 7 feet per day.  None the less, journalists reported that the land of the Patagonia is rising at some kind of record pace, due to the lessening of the weight of ice on it.  The media stated that Patagonia is "rapidly rising up."  Well, the rapid rise has been 1.6 inches per year.   That's one point six inches ... less than two inches.  Do you see how the media and journalists lie to humanity with false light presentations and hyper-exaggerations?

Do you know how tall the three highest peaks of the Patagonia are?  ANS: 10,250 feet (Cerro Torre),  11,000 feet (Mt Fitz Roy),  9,186 feet (Torres del Plaine).  In inches, they are 123,000 inches high,  132,000 inches high, and 110,232 inches high.  Now compare them to 1.6 inches per year.

Plus, the glacier is 19 miles in length.  And this is supposed to make us believe that we are nearing the End of World?   None the less, remember that, when ice departs through melting or sublimation, the land rises.  But, it is not a very high rise of land in any one year or in any one decade.

Incidentally, sublimation is when ice turns into vapor, without first becoming liquid.  The opposite is called, deposition, as in "deposit."

21st Century photo of Saint Augustine Florida.  Show me where this Climate Crisis is here.

Sea Level

Take note that, for the time period of 19,000 years ago to 12,900 years ago, sea level rose about 280 feet or 3,360 inches.  Then, after the Younger Dryas Glacial Era (which ended 11,700 years ago) until 3,000 years ago, the sea level rose another 150 feet or 1,800 inches.  That amounts to 430 feet or 5,160 inches of a sea level rise since the end of the Great Ice Age.  

From 1880 or so until today, the sea level rose 8 to 9 inches.  The scientists claim that 4 of those inches came in the past 31 years.  But, of course, they could be lying, being that they have been caught lying previously.  

None the less, this possibly means that today's scientists claim that our "Climate Crisis Weather" will cause the oceans to rise 12.9 inches every 100 years with all this "Climate Crisis Carbon Footprint" insertion into the atmosphere, even though the atmosphere is already 99.9% carbon free.  That's one foot and one inch per century of sea level rise.  Now compare it to 430 feet.

Now, does this sound very much like the End of the World to you?  Does this sound like we all have to give our freedom to Al Gore and/or Michael Mann and/or Jim Hansen and/or Barack "Sequester" Obama and/or to Who Ever Else?  You have to tell a scarier campfire story than that one.

Hubbard Glacier, Alaska.  It's 76 miles long and 6 miles wide.  Without further ado, being that I really don't have time for these climate con artists, know that the glacier is growing.  

For more on Hubbard, see:  https://www.online-field-guide.com/hubbard-glacier-facts/

Bruggen Glacier, aka the Pio XI Glacier:  This one has been growing the most aggressively, except for Crater Glacier, I think.  Well, it has been a very health growth, if you call ice healthy.  It's in the southern part of the Argentine Patagonia, and it's 41 miles long.

https://www.revistaterraaustralis.cl/index.php/rgch/article/view/18

The Karakoram Mountain Glaciers, in Pakistan, India, and China.

These are the glaciers that are getting the most propaganda hurled at them, in the attempt to dispel them as anomalies that should have never happened.  For example, one article tried to explain away the Karakoram Glacier growth, by first mentioning that an Icelandic glacier recently melted away, as if glaciers everywhere were dying all at once.

The truth is that, on Iceland's Tröllaskagi Peninsula, alone, there are 170 glaciers.  Concerning officially "named" glaciers, there are 269 of them throughout Iceland, and the average thickness of each one is 1,246 feet ... 380 meters.    Moreover, the square mileage of area that all of these named glaciers cover is 1,550 square miles of land ... 4,015 km2.  Iceland, itself, is 39,817 square miles in size.  So, directing the readers' attention to one mere glacier, while the other ones cover 1,550 square miles of terrain is the act of a low-brow, low-life piece of human waste.  Such a writer is trying to deceive you into thinking that we will all soon be drowning under ocean water.  It was nothing but a deceiver's lying propaganda.

There are numerous glaciers on Planet Earth, proving that we are still in an Ice Age.  Some of those glaciers already melted away, especially during warm periods, including the Minoan, the Roman, and the Medieval Warm Periods, as well as the Modern Warm Period which actually started in 1840.

True Climate Change

The last time when there was true climate change, a jungle the size of the United States was turned into the Sahara Desert ... due to the development of the 30th Parallel Convection Cell which is now called the Hadley Cell.  This was 6,000 years ago, and both hemispheres got a Convection Cell banded across their 30th Parallel.  

This 30th Parallel phenomenon is beyond the scope of this discourse.  In fact, those convection cell features are beyond the scope of most career politicians' minds.  You need to understand that you have been voting for self-seeking & mean-spirited idiots, all along, when voting for a career politician.  It also shows that humans are Creatures of Habit, not inclined to welcome change.  So, they keep voting for the same politician.

BTW, Michael Mann was NEVER nominated as "co-winner" of any type of Nobel Prize, and therefore, he NEVER was co-awarded (or exclusively awarded) any Nobel Prize in anything.  Democracy Now lied on air.  Michael Mann's lawyer lied on paper, and Michael Mann repeatedly lied, period.  In fact, Michael Mann simply lies, per se.  In as much, the weather and/or climate was NOT mild throughout the 1,000 years preceding the Industrial Age, as Michael Mann falsely claimed.  

If the atmospheric co2 level gets cut in half, as Michael Mann said it should be, then the co2 level will be very near the level where photosynthesis stops occurring.  

Plus, Mann did NOT submit to Dr. Tim Ball the data set for Mann's ridiculous hockey-stick temperature graph, as Mann promised a Canadian court he would do.   And Mann did hide the 1960s & '70s temperature decline of Briffa's much more honest temperature graph.   And all that Tim Ball wanted was for Mann to show his methodology, in arriving at the hockey-stick graph which omitted the existence of the Medieval Warm Period and Renaissance-era & Baroque-era Little Ice Age. 

One more thing: Michael Mann is not going to get China to cease its extensive coal plant construction projects.  And concerning India, in the Years 2021 & 2022, it commissioned EIGHT coal plants with 4.49 GW (gigawatt) capacity.  Plus, 39 coal plants are already under construction there --- in India.  What is Michael Mann and John Kerry and Bill Nye and Al Gore doing about it?  

https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/coal/060322-india-expected-to-commission-10-thermal-coal-power-plants-in-2022-23-add-7010-mw 

Mann's purported "expert witnesses" were declared invalid by a DC court judge, incidentally.  They were officially declared NOT experts in the lawsuit which has been dragging-on for years.  The reason is that they did NOT show the methodology that resulted in their conclusions.  And of course, they claim that the Little Ice Age & Medieval Warm Period were only local events, and not worldwide.  They showed zero methodology for their conclusions which are contrary to chronicles, ledgers, journals, and strontium isotope analysis.

https://reason.com/volokh/2021/07/27/judge-strikes-all-of-michael-manns-expert-witnesses-from-libel-suit/

Go through newspaper archives, and you will see that Mann, Al Gore, PBS, & taxpayer-money-grabbing scientists have been lying to you, in a "false light," sleight-of-hand fashion.  They have been omitting lots of facts.

Concerning the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere, an electrical engineering major who never studied atmosphere ... because he had enough to study as it was ... said to me, "Oh, CO2 is at ten percentage (up in the sky)."  For the record, if any human is in an airspace of 10% or more of CO2, that person will die instantly; within the 15 minutes of time it takes to suffocate.  

In addition, if a human is in an airspace which comprises 8.4% of CO2, then that person will die within one hour or so.  So, compare 8.4% to 0.043%.  That's 84,000 ppm vs 429 ppm.  Big difference.
