Conspiracy Watch: Argentine Glacier Advances Despite Global Warming
It's becoming increasingly clear that the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy to resist science, destroy humanity, and disrepect Al Gore has gone intercontinental.
AP has the latest on a rebellious ice mass:
Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier is one of only a few ice fields worldwide that have withstood rising global temperatures.
Nourished by Andean snowmelt, the glacier constantly grows even as it spawns icebergs the size of apartment buildings into a frigid lake, maintaining a nearly perfect equilibrium since measurements began more than a century ago.
"We're not sure why this happens," said Andres Rivera, a glacialist with the Center for Scientific Studies in Valdivia, Chile. "But not all glaciers respond equally to climate change."
