The Hills are Alive, with the sounds of Mel-ting

Following up yesterday's post about melting glaciers in Peru, this one is about melting glaciers in Austria. The current report is that just about all of them are shrinking (i.e., getting smaller, losing volume, succumbing to warmer temperatures, entering the liquid phase, otherwise known as DMG; Demonstrating Global Warming, even though some of the losses are actually due to ablation and not literally per se melting.

Almost all Austrian glaciers shrank in 2009: report

Wasn't there some kerfuffle recently about the wrong date for the disappearance of glaciers in the Himalayas? Well, whether or not you can set the date, you can set the destination, and it's downriver. F*ck off, AGW deniers. Read the fine print; everything is M E L T I N G.
