  1. I thought that just last week it was reported that global warming has NOT been steadily rising over the past 16 years? Hardly "accelerating" as they stated in this piece.

    A direct contradiction is apparent ...

    As an aside, most people think glaciers melt because of rising temperatures. WRONG !!! When glaciers DO melt, it is because of lower rate of snowfall in the icefield that feeds them.
