Global warming melting Mexico glacier

Mexico is pretty close to the equator, but it is global warming and not their geographical location that is causing this....

Shhhh. Don't bring logic into the argument. The envirogestapo will come for you in the middle of the night if you do.

Ever since they decided to move Mexico to its new geographical location the whole thing has been going to sh*t.



I'd like to hear more about this logic.

Shhh. The deniergestapo will come and get you in your sleep.

So, how did the glacier form to begin with?

Holdover from the last ice age?

There was an ice age? I thought global warming was a myth?

Methinks you need to glance at a globe sometime.

The Equator isn't anywhere close to Mexico - it runs through South America (Ecuador, Columbia and Brazil specifically). Google maps places the distance at well over 2000 km. Saying Mexico is close to the equator is like saying Edmonton is close to Las Vegas.

And as the article notes;



Yeah, it must the sudden appearance of the equator that has caused it to shrink from 90 metres deep to 10.

Or, could it possibly have to do with the earth going through one of the millions of small climate shifts it has done before, the earth is actually getting more stable than it was before with ice ages and warm/cold periods becoming less extreme. We are still leaving an ice age and heading the to traditional warm period, then we get another ice age.

I'm very new to this Board (having returned from a seven (7) year absence so I don't know where people line up on this issue. I am quite sure that AGW is a crock.

There are 3 camps. Chicken littles, "I see nnnnnothing" {/Schultz}, and the science types.

And to plant myself firmly in the science camp - no one mentioned AWG. I'm in the middle of the Prairies, which 20,000 years ago were a mile deep in ice. So to say I don't believe in global warming is to deny the facts.

Certain gyrations are actually becoming more rather than less extreme, including the thirty (30) year Pacific Decadal Oscillation that drives the relative frequency and strength of La Niñas and El Niños.

But even if Al Gore and David Suzuki had their way tens of thousands of years ago Manitoba and Saskatchewan would still be ice-free.

So would have been most of the arctic.
