In the last few days in detail in the MSM and bloggers World - Reuters dubbed as: Himalayan glaciers Despite advance, warming - through a new work by Scherler et al. (Abstract) reports, which is shown in particular that more than 50% of the glaciers in the Karakorum region, not shrink, contrary to expectations, but are stable or expand well (Report / The Telegraph).
However, not only in Asia have been counter-mediated normal picture of shrinking glaciers in a warming world, found themselves expanding glaciers. We have recently read about the same is Argentine glacier Perito Moreno . Also on the glacier expansions in New Zealand and Norway, we are told from the scientific side in detail [1]
Mir is now about following the MWP question.
When the critics of a (global) MWP right way mentioned statement, that during the "MWP" came to glacier expansion [2] and facing a (global) MWP for and probably speak a, at best, global climate anomaly can be considered as an argument, one would then not consistently also leave a fed from above data comparable statement shall be construed as an argument and as the current interglacial period, such question and / or talk "at most" from a (global) climate anomaly? Or accept but the two warm periods such as the glacier advances and isolated glaciers not as an argument against global warming to assess, since hundreds of studies, at least for the middle ages, a - put simply - speak another language?
I mean, who advocated a global MWP and a globally persistent, current global warming would be better off with the second variant. What do you think?
