Not onlly that now there is an increasing number of glaciers that are now growing and not retreating

Ålfotbreen Glacier
Briksdalsbreen Glacier
Nigardsbreen Glacier
Hardangerjøkulen Glacier
Hansebreen Glacier
Jostefonn Glacier
Engabreen glacier (The Engabreen glacier
is the second largest glacier in Norway. It is a
part (a glacial tongue) of the Svartisen glacier,
which has steadily increased in mass since the
1960s when heavier winter precipitation set in.)

* Norway's glaciers growing at record pace. The face of the Briksdal glacier,
an off-shoot of the largest glacier in Norway and mainland Europe, is growing by an
average 7.2 inches (18 cm) per day. (From the Norwegian daily Bergens Tidende.)

this country's superlative summit has experienced a growth spurt.

Winter snows did not all melt on Italy’s Presena Glacier this summer
10 Nov 09 - 'Their massive base depth last season meant it didn’t all melt
over the summer so they have nearly a metre and a half of snow on the glacier
ski area already." (The second story of this kind in two years.)

Now does this mean Global warming is not happening? Not at all as I recall one of the theories about Global warming is that it could lead to global cooling at one point. But I think that what will happen is we will see very abrupt climate changes from real cold to real hot. Problem with climate changes that fast is that nearly no fauna or flora would be able to cope with such dramatic shifts from one to the next. So I guess this proves in good part my argument about natural disasters in combination with man-made ones and what they could lead too...
