Glaciers Growing on Mount Shasta
Some politically incorrect data has escaped the memory hole. USA Today admits that notwithstanding the fantasy that the planet is burning up from global warming, the glaciers on California's Mount Shasta have been growing:
Shasta's glaciers have been advancing since the end of a drought in the early 20th century. The mountain's smallest glaciers — named Konwakiton, Watkins and Mud Creek — have more than doubled in length since 1950.
Shasta's largest glacier, the Hotlum, grew more than 600 yards between 1944 and 2003 and covers nearly 2 square miles of the mountain's northeastern face. The Whitney glacier grows up to 4 inches a day in winter and is about 2.4 miles long.
Hikers seeking to cross Shasta's glaciers — marked with crevasses as deep as 100 feet — say they are much larger than the boundaries drawn on geological maps.
Naturally, the growth of the glaciers is attributed to global warming. We had better grant bureaucrats the totalitarian powers required to control the climate at once, before warm weather buries northern California under ice.
On a tip from Lyle.

Look at all that white ash on the mountain! Global warming is much worse than I thought! Is it too late to vote for Al Gore?? :)
