- This past week, climatologist Cliff Harris of the Coeur
d'Alene Press received an astounding report from Yakutat, Alaska, concerning
the Hubbard Glacier. The glacier is advancing toward Gilbert Point near
Yakutat at the astonishing rate of two meters (seven feet) per day!
-
- "The Army Corp of Engineers special Web site for
the Hubbard Glacier - www.glacierresearch.com - contains some absolutely
amazing photos of the advancing glacier," says Harris. "One can
easily see the expanding wall of ice. It's HUGE!" (The website may
tell you that viewing is restricted, but if you keep clicking on stuff
you'll find the secret.)
-
- "Even the dedicated global warmists need to know
the truth about the recent extended period of global cooling caused by
our 'SILENT SUN,' Harris continues.
-
- 'When' and 'if' the Hubbard Glacier eventually closes
the Russell Fjord, the fjord will fill with fresh water, becoming a 30-mile-long
lake creating a new 40,000-cubic-feet-per-second river system. This will
have an extremely 'negative' economic impact on Yakutat and the surrounding
regions. It's possible that at the shocking rate of seven feet per day
in its advancement, the Hubbard Glacier could close the fjord by later
this summer, or even prior to that time, if the current rate of advancement
speeds up, say to perhaps 10 or 12 feet per day.
-
- "Not only has our 'SILENT SUN,' almost completely
devoid of sunspots, been at least partially responsible for the expanding
glaciers in Alaska, Norway and elsewhere, but 'Ole Sol' is likewise, in
my not-so-humble climatological opinion, to blame for our recent colder,
snowier and wetter spring seasons in North Idaho and the surrounding Inland
Empire.
-
- "Heavier snows -- up to six inches or more above
5,000 feet -- have accumulated in the nearby mountains on a daily basis
since early May. It may be mid June or later before Glacier Park's 'Going-to-the-Sun
Highway' opens. (Next week, we'll take a look at what's happening to the
glaciers in the park. Are they also beginning to expand? Find out the truth
in just seven days.)"
