Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier in Andes advances

Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier in Andes advances in face of rising global temperatures.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier is one of only a few ice fields worldwide that have withstood rising global temperatures.

Nourished by Andean snowmelt, the glacier constantly grows even as it spawns icebergs the size of apartment buildings into a frigid lake, maintaining a nearly perfect equilibrium since measurements began more than a century ago.

"We're not sure why this happens," said Andres Rivera, a glacialist with the Center for Scientific Studies in Valdivia, Chile. "But not all glaciers respond equally to climate change."

They don't know why? Sure they don't. 😛

It's a lie and they just don't want the people who have been duped to finally wake up.

I doubt this is the only glacier that has advanced. 🙄

All glaciers are melting and advancing, not surprising seeing as the earth is still gradually coming out of an ice ice.

That problem is people have a short memory, they think everything should be as it was in some decade. This is of course not so, climate has always changed, ice ages, heat waves come and go. Nothing is "normal" but always changing🙂

He made a mistake in his post.

He ended with "ice ice" when he meant "ice age".

So I capitalized on that with the following reference:

I mean more in general...

it seems just like, hey, check this out, glacier advances...

are we supposed to try and come up with geological theories to explain this? Like, I don't get the significance, especially on a discussion board
