The Cold Truth

(Fox News) - Another chilling report for global warming alarmists. The Anchorage Daily News reports 200 years of glacial shrinkage in Alaska has stopped. Large amounts of winter snow were followed by unusually chilly temperatures over the summer, resulting in the growth of many of Alaska's glaciers.

Glaciologist Bruce Molnia at the U.S. Geological Survey says, "It's been a long time on most glaciers where they've actually had positive mass balance."

Mass balance is the difference between how much snow falls in the winter and how much snow melts in the summer. For most of Alaska's glaciers, snow loss has exceeded snowfall for decades, but glaciers at Prince William Sound, the Juneau Icefield and Bering Glacier all experienced growth this year.
