Contrast the AP article UN: World’s Glaciers Melting Faster to the World Climate Report blog entry Snow and Ice Surprises and Antarctica Snowfall Increase.

History shows that climate changes. There is huge variability in climate. Millions of years of life on earth demonstrate how resilient life is to climate change, despite bouts of global warming and global cooling (note the ice ages that have occurred in the past). Life survives and thrives by adapting to its environment. In contrast to other living species, human life thrives by adapting its environment to our survival. Climate change fear-mongers are resistant to adaptation, so perhaps they do have the most to fear, because they do not embrace the very mechanism that facilitates their survival.
