NOAA links extreme weather to climate change

[rockdoc123]

I have no doubt the changes we are seeing is linked to climate change from CO2. The receding artic and antarctic and moutain glaciers are proof enough.

hate to burst your bubble but glacier advance and retreat is a trade-off between melting (warming) and addition of snow which becomes ice (precipitation). It is as possible for glacier advance to happen when temperatures are warm if precipitation is high during winter months as it is for glacier retreat to occur when precipitation is low and temperature are cold. This has been well documented in the literature for decades.
When we were getting all that nasty snowfall a couple of years ago the AGW advocates were arguing that the models predicted more precipitation in a warming world. That being the case then it is entirely possible that AGW could result in glaciers advancing not retreating.

Bad news, Pete: you're stuck with all of us!! LOL And, us, with you.

Massive landslide in Alaska sweeps over glacier
By MARY PEMBERTON, Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Even by Alaska standards, the rock slide in Glacier Bay National Park was a huge event.
It was a monumental geophysical event that was almost overlooked until a pilot happened to fly over where the cliff collapsed and snapped some photographs nearly a month later.
When the cliff collapsed in the national park in southeast Alaska on June 11, it sent rock and ice coursing down a valley and over a lovely white glacier in what perhaps was the largest landslide recorded in North America.
The rumbling was enough so that it showed up as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake in Alaska. The seismic event also was recorded in Canada. …
