If "global warming" is real, why did the glaciers come back to Mt. St. Helen after the volcanic explosion?
Just half the glaciers in the world are shrinking. The other half are growing. That wouldn't happen if "global warming" was real.

It would be a lie to say that the earth is not warming up, that would explain the reason why the glaciers are melting, but a better question to ask oneself is what is the cause of the warming. Is the earth warming up? Obviously. Are humans the cause of it? Environmental history says probably not. Just make sure you do your own reseach, because if you don't you may end up believing something bogus.

the glaciers have been melting back since the last ice age. In fact they are the remanants of the last ice age. Equipment has gotten so precise in measurement that things that were not measured accurately are now more so. Who said that the warming and cooling of the globe is a smooth,even transition?

Global warming is a cult to which effortlessly motivated persons have fallen for. The international has truthfully cooled down ago nine years, however the Liberal media, Obama and different bull sh*t artist could in no way let you know that. We can not even manipulate the elements, Do you quite suppose we manipulate the earth's temperature? ...It is all a Ponzi scheme to elevate our taxes via "cap and alternate" with the intention to broaden everyones vigour invoice by way of 30-50%. Thanks you Obama for redetributing cash to the Rich. and hurting all over again the deficient.

It is the reason, even in the ice age the glaciers didn't melt this fast, scientists all over are amazed, what they suspected would take decades only took a few years.

cause it is real, and they are melting becasue of a vicious cycle we have gotten ourselves into of melting sea ice, and glaciers, that leave dark water or dark earth where they used to be, reducing the amount of reflected sun, melting more, causing more black water and dark earth to become exposed, warming the earth more... but it all happens little by little so we diddnt notice, but now its too late

Glaciers have melted before, due to increasing solar radiation.
But this time, the problem is mostly us.
Solar radiation is actually decreasing now.

All the glaciers aren't melting, but most of them are. Just because this happened previously for natural reasons, doesn't mean this time it's natural. The scientific data proves otherwise.

Which is way the vast majority of scientists and world leaders (of all political persuasions) know this is a problem.

What about the glaicers that were in America many years ago. We did not casue that. Glaicers melt that is what they do.

Why did they melt after the previous ice age when man wasn't around to point the exhaust pipe of his SUV at them?

They are going to melt then ice will form somewhere else!
