		<description><![CDATA[New report seems to assume it&#8217;s melting, but is it? Greenland is the world&#8217;s largest island, about 2600 km long and 1100 km wide at its widest point. Most of the interior is covered by the world&#8217;s second-largest permanent ice sheet. Average temperatures rise above freezing only briefly, during the summer. Here&#8217;s a simplified graph [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An impressive glacier formed from firn (FIRN), a Swiss-German word meaning &#8220;last year&#8217;s snow&#8221;. Note the clearly evident layers and, for a sense of scale, the people walking on the glacier, which is formed simply from fallen snow. Each distinct layer of firn contains a slightly different contribution from the atmosphere. Here&#8217;s a thread to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A gigantic glacier. Glaciers such as this sneer at temperature rises. They laugh at warm periods and demolish heat waves. However they pine away for lack of snow. This unknown glacier in Alaska is part of a system that covers many kilometres. Hot Topic has just released a rant against Barry Brill&#8217;s article &#8220;Crisis in [...]]]></description>

A story in the NZ Herald a few days ago talked about giant Antarctic icebergs: A massive iceberg struck Antarctica, dislodging another giant block of ice [...]]]></description>

The IPCC tell us constantly that they use experts in every field to assemble its reports. It&#8217;s scandalous that any of their teams might be led by a [...]]]></description>

Gareth Renowden at Hot Topic pounces on this news with an enthusiastic lack of scepticism and hastens to paint it as alarming, saying: At this rate of thinning, the glacier could [...]]]></description>

Reuters reports that, after centuries of praying for a local glacier to stop growing, some Swiss villagers are now seeking an audience with Pope Benedict to get his blessing for prayers against the global warming that is causing it to recede.
