Melting glacier 'false alarm'
By Julian Isherwood, Scandinavia Correspondent
(Filed: 17/08/2002)


Pictures released by Greenpeace claiming to show how man-made global warming has caused Arctic glaciers to retreat are at best misleading and only illustrate a natural phenomenon, says a leading glaciologist.

The picture series, which compared the size of a glacier on Svalbard in 1918 with its size in 2002, was published across the world alongside a Greenpeace warning that global warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases was causing Arctic glaciers to melt.

"The blame can be put squarely on human activity," Greenpeace said. "Our addiction to fossil fuels releases millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and this is what is causing temperatures to rise and our future to melt before our eyes."

But Prof Ole Humlum, a leading glaciologist in Svalbard, 500 miles north of Norway, said yesterday: "That glacier had already disappeared in the early 1920s as a result of a perfectly natural rise in temperature that had nothing to do with man-made global warming."

Prof Humlum is employed by several universities to research glacial developments in Svalbard and the Arctic in general. He said the picture series was at best misleading. "They should have asked the specialists on Svalbard first."

What do you expect from a group that suported spiking trees in secret so when a logger that was just trying to feed himself or family hit it with a chainsaw it would cause the saw to basically gernade in his hands.

The French may be pansies, but at least they have the stones to sink the "Rainbow Warrior" when they wouldn't leave the test site after several warnings.

hahaha..oh boy do I remember that episode. Or how about the one when Cartman is accused of being racist against black people and in court he tells them that he only hates one type of people, and that is hippies. Man, Cartman is the best character ever

I've had a problem with the whole "global warming" thing since the "coming ice age" claims ended. If geography has taught me anything it's that the earth has NEVER had a stable climate.

Environmentalists pressured California to mandate that gas makers put MTBE in the gas to help the environment, three years later they found that MTBE caused water pollution, so they hastilly mandated that it be removed.


When there's a forest fire, who replants the forest? Greenpeace? maybe a little bit. The forest service? They do a bit. Logging companies? Yep, they do most of it. The logging companies do NOT want to cut down all the trees, if they did that they'd be out of a job. They rely on the forests being there and being harvested on a schedule. If any tree huggers wanna complain, lets see them give up thier wooden homes, paper products (including signs), and see how thier life is affected.

Environmentalists need to look at the EFFECT of thier proposals, and simply taking a NIMBY approach just doesn't cut it for me.

You can, however, trust the oil and chemical companies because they are objective and have nothing to loose. I thought we got our lessons on red herrings.

I would trust the oil companies with my life. Our wonderful president Bush has so many ties with them how could they be bad?

dribgnikcom -- Don't you ever get tired of your pathetic, petty anti-environment, anti-everything rants? You cite one (count 'em on one finger) article, from one source which may, or may not, have its own agenda. OTOH, your agenda is obvious, unlike your ears, which are hidden between your glutial cheeks.

I'm not even arguing the position that glacial recession is caused by global warming. However, there is plenty of evidence which supports the strong possiblity that as human activity increases with greater population, the very things we do as part of our lives are causing a wide variety of environmental changes that should at least give us good cause to continue investigating the phenomenon... Or would you rather keep your head up your butt and hope the tooth fairy delivers your salvation after it's too late?

How do you even stand yourself? Your thinking is far more corrupt than Green Peace could ever be. :disgust:

Sierra Club pulls the same crap..files a bunch of legal delays and then settle out of court and cart away tax payers money. Enviro orgs. are run by enviro lawyers that contort and twist enviro law to their financial benifit...and you the tax payer loose along with the enviroment.
