Balance&nbsp;Please.]]></title><type><![CDATA[link]]></type><html><![CDATA[<p><strong>Historically, the more active volcano&#8217;s are&#8230;the colder the temps become. </strong>&#8220;The well shaded north-facing crater at Mt. St. Helens, which formed during the eruption of 1980, has accumulated snow steadily since 1982-83, forming the newest and fastest growing glacier in Washington. Between 1982 and 1988, roughly 3.33 million m<sup>3</sup>/yr of snow fell in the crater, and by late 1998, the glacier had a total volume of ~71,000,000 m<sup>3</sup> of ice.&#8221;  <a href="http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2002CD/finalprogram/abstract_33712.htm"><strong>http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2002CD/finalprogram/abstract_33712.htm</strong></a> </p>

If the hysteria and religious fervor were not so pronounced (worse than any Southern Baptist&#8230;sorry Baptists), we could perhaps have an intelligent discussion about the realities of this complex topic. But, we can&#8217;t slow down. Every thing is a crisis&#8230;a hype moment&#8230;the world is ending from every angle it seems. And, a charlatan snake oil salesman is near to play upon the hype. Wonder what the truth really might be? Cameras on shrinking glaciers, yet other glaciers grow around the world. Do we pick our convenient evidence and ignore contradictory evidence? Too much money at stake now in this &#8216;green&#8217; hysteria. Scary hysteria, I say. That hysteria is as scary as that glassy eyed, cultish look of any Charles Manson follower or Southern Snake Charming Fundamentalist (sorry snake charmers). Read about the global warming heretic Freeman Dyson&#8230;unless your intellect surpasses his???</strong></p>
