People love to say how glaciers are melting, well have u personally seen these melt? ive seen many articles online that show that some of the glaciers are actually GROWING. Heres the thing, sometimes in some areas, it FEELS warmer than it actually is becuase of all the cement/concrete which warms up the ground around us. Ice ages have come and gone all thru-out history and we currently are still probably in a melting point anyways but alot of scientists even insist another mini ice age is coming. weather is based on the sun/sunspots/sun cycles.

In the last 1 million years there have been 10 Ice Ages. Usually a gradual period of cooling, about 90,000 years, followed by rapid warming of 10,000 years and then cooling again. These periods of warming are known as interglacials and the one we are in now is known as the Holocene and has been going on for about 12.5 thousand years. Is the planet warming up? Yes! Is it primarily down to us? No! And by the way saying you learned about the weather on FOX NEWS gains you zero credibility in my opinion and its irrelevant if you believe its anthropogenic in nature or natural, the planet is warming up. Im not surprised they would try and tell you different though being FOX news who believes the NHS is a training ground for terrorism.

I think in about a thousand to two thousand years time it will start to gradually get cooler again. While Eccentricity, Obliquity and Precession will have an impact on this, there are many, MANY other factors to consider like the strength of the magnetic field, negative and positive feedbacks, landmass formation, airflow and so on. ALL have an impact on climate.

And have I personally seen Glaciers melting? Well no I dont live at the north or south poles or Greenland for that matter. That's like me asking you if you've ever seen anyone murdered, because then how would you know if people are murdered? Go and google Larsen B Shelf. SATALITE IMAGERY has shown how that broke off into the ocean unless you are trying to refute that as well?
