Global Warming
Remember all the moonbats running to Greenland the last couple summers to look at melting glaciers as proof of global warming and complaining about the loss of Arctic sea ice. Well the icepack is back, bigger and thicker than normal, in fact record cold and snowfall has been the story across the Northern Hemispere this winter mirroring what happened in the Southern Hemisphere during their winter when the Antarctic ice came back to a record extent. Al Gore also warned about the snows of Kilimanjaro disappearing but they are back as well. Newsbusters points to this article by Lorne Gunter in Canada's National Post.
Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.
The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average."
China is surviving its most brutal winter in a century. Temperatures in the normally balmy south were so low for so long that some middle-sized cities went days and even weeks without electricity because once power lines had toppled it was too cold or too icy to repair them
I wonder how the Gore kool-aid drinkers in the MSM will spin this news if they report it at all.
Gateway Pundit has more on the record cold snaps around the planet.
Then there is this nut that is going to lead an expedition next month to examine the collapsing iceshelves of the Arctic that aren't.
Update: A warm Barnyard welcome to visitors from Gateway Pundit and Watts Up With That.

To anonymous commenter, I don't allow blind anon comments so at least attach a name. As a naturalist I am well aware of the difference in sea ice and glaciation and I would prefer a bit of warming as opposed to cooling so your point was not worth posting to begin with.
More snow on Greenland was a prediction of warming. The glaciers that have melted are those of most mountains of the world. If you haven't seen it first-hand, do a little reading.
No doubt this will be rejected.
Yep glaciers are formed by many hundreds of years of snowfall that doesn't melt. They have been melting since the end of the last iceage 10,000 years ago. Now would you prefer to live during an iceage where those glaciers grow or during a warm period of lush growth, less disease and increased food production?

Tried to go to icecap.org, and it was full of redirect garbage...have they closed shop? Found another location? been hacked? info welcome...
