No they're not.
"Since 1980, glacier retreat has become increasingly rapid and ubiquitous, so much so that it has threatened the existence of many of the glaciers of the world. This process has increased markedly since 1995, leading to such bizarre steps as covering sections of Austrian alpine glaciers with plastic to retard melting."

Many glaciers (although not 90%) are growing. There are several scientists who theorize that Global Warming will cause an Ice Age. I heard one gentleman speak and his ideas seemed reasonable.

If 90% of glaciers were growing, yeah, I'd be a little worried. But lord knows they're not. Change "growing" to "shrinking" and you'll be a little closer to the truth.

Do you have a reference that says that 90% of glaciers are growing? Lots of people are going to ask that you back up your claim.

90% of glaciers where? Not on Earth.

I would say more glaciers are melting than growing according to all the global warming reports

What is your source? Is it credible? They are shrinking. The worry is global warming - not an ice age. Don't get side-track with obstructionist propaganda. Look at a summary of the scientific information.

Right, either you're misinformed (they're shrinking) or you're a troll.
I think an ice age is the last thing on anyone's worry list.
I call troll.

It's the exact opposite. thats why its called global WARMING
glaciers are melting so its the exact opposite of an ice age. its getting hotter not colder.

That is absolutely stupid. There is no second ice age on the way for sure. Guaranteed.
