Retreat of glaciers since 1850 wiki
The Little Ice Age was a period from about 1550 to 1850 when the world experienced relatively cooler temperatures compared to the present.
Subsequently, until about 1940, glaciers around the world retreated as the climate warmed substantially.
Glacial retreat slowed and even reversed temporarily, in many cases, between 1950 and 1980 as a slight global cooling occurred.

Polar Caps
Sea ice extent is a measurement of the area of ocean where there is at least some sea ice. Usually, scientists define a
threshold of minimum concentration to mark the ice edge; the most common cutoff is at 15 percent.
The plots and color-coded maps are chosen to provide information about the current state of the sea ice cover and how the most current daily data available compare with the record lows and record highs for the same date during the satellite era. Sea ice concentration is the percent areal coverage of ice within the data element (grid cell). Sea ice extent is the integral sum of the areas of all grid cells with at least 15% ice concentration, while sea ice area is the integral sum of the product of ice concentration and area of all grid cells with at least 15% ice concentration. The dashed vertical line indicates the date of the latest plotted and mapped data.
An "ice-free" Arctic Ocean is often defined as "having less than 1 million square kilometers of sea ice", because it is very difficult to melt the thick ice around the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The IPCC AR5 defines "nearly ice-free conditions" as sea ice extent less than 106 km2 for at least five consecutive years.
NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: “At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous ...

Are the Polar Ice Caps Melting? NOAA's Monthly Weather Review of November 1922.
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce
Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate
conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees
29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones,
the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while
vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

In Antarctica, temperatures are so low that comparatively little surface melting occurs on the continental ice sheet; ice loss is mainly by iceberg calving, the rates of which are determined by dynamic processes involving long response times (thousands of years). Even if Antarctica were to warm in the future, its mass balance is expected to become more positive: The rise in temperature would be insufficient to initiate melt but would increase snowfall (IPCC 1996, WG II, Section 7.4). Little change in Antarctic ice sheets is expected over the next 50 years, although longer-term behavior-including that of West Antarctic ice-remains uncertain, and some instability is possible.

In a location where about 20 centimetres (8 in) of snow accumulates every year without ever thawing,[13][14] the building's rounded corners and edges help reduce snow drifts.

Antarctic ice volume and contribution to sea-level fall at 20,000 yr BP from raised beaches

§Department of Geography, University of Canterbury,Christchurch 1, New Zealand
THE contribution of the Antarctic ice sheets to global sea-level fall at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) depends largely on how the extent and thickness of peripheral ice changed. Model studies1–3 suggest that there was widespread thickening (from 500 m to more than 1,000 m) of the ice-sheet margins, sufficient to induce a drop in sea level of at least 25 m. Geological evidence4,5, on the other hand, indicates only limited ice expansion and a sea-level fall of just 8 m. Here we use recent data on the altitudes and ages of raised beaches from the Ross embayment and East Antarctica to investigate the timing and extent of Antarctic deglaciation. These indicate that the ice margin during the LGM was thinner and less extensive than has been formerly thought, and that its contribution to the drop in sea level was only 0.5–2.5 m. Deglaciation was well advanced by 10 kyr BP and was complete by 6 kyr BP. These findings imply either that sea level during the LGM fell less than present estimates suggest, or that an ice volume considerably greater than currently accepted must have been present in the Northern Hemisphere.

SS Jacobs - 1992 - nature.com
Nature 360, 29 - 33 (05 November 1992); doi:10.1038/360029a0
A common public perception is that global warming will accelerate the melting of polar ice sheets, causing sea level to rise. A common scientific position is that the volume of grounded Antarctic ice is slowly growing, and will damp future sea-level rise. At present, studies supporting recent shrinkage or growth depend on limited measurements that are subject to high temporal and regional variability, and it is too early to say how the Antarctic ice sheet will behave in a warmer world

Gore Nobel lecture Dec 210, 2007
Last September 21, as the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun, scientists reported with unprecedented distress that the North Polar ice cap is "falling off a cliff." One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study, to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers later this week, warns it could happen in as little as 7 years.
Seven years from now.
And most important of all, we need to put a price on carbon – with a CO2 tax that is then rebated back to the people, progressively, according to the laws of each nation, in ways that shift the burden of taxation from employment to pollution. This is by far the most effective and simplest way to accelerate solutions to this crisis.

Bro. Rajendra Pachauri’s U.N. IPCC meltdown Peter Foster Finanacial Post January 20, 2010
Vice-President Al Gore 'Cutting' A Secret Freemason Recognition Handsign
The Himalayan Glaciers will still be around in 2035, contrary to oft-repeated alarmist claims by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Whether the IPCC’s head, Rajendra Pachauri, whose credibility is melting faster than the proverbial snowball in Hades, will make it to his next paycheque is another matter.
With Climategate still simmering and the collapse of Copenhagen reverberating, a fresh storm has blown up over the discovery that the IPCC’s claim that Himalayan glaciers
were about to disappear is entirely bogus.
“If the present rate [of melting] continues,” said the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report in 2007, “the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high.”
There was no significant questioning of this claim until late last year, when the Indian government published a discussion paper that pointed out that there was in fact no sign of any
“abnormal” retreat in the Himalayan glaciers. India’s environment minister Jairam Ramesh accused the IPCC of being “alarmist.”
Doing what he has traditionally done in such circumstances, Mr. Pachauri proceeded to smear the messengers and pontificate about the IPCC’s high “peer-reviewed” scientific standards.
He denounced the research paper as “voodoo science.” He accused Minister Ramesh of “arrogance.” He said that such skeptical claims were reminiscent of “climate change deniers.”
Senior members of the UN's climate science body admit a claim that Himalayan glaciers could melt away by 2035 was unfounded.
Probing Question: How fast are the polar ice sheets melting? Penn State News April 1, 2010
The massive ice sheets that blanket Greenland and Antarctica are shrinking, according to Penn State geophysicist Sridhar Anandakrishnan,
but understanding how quickly will require a better grasp of glacier dynamics. Anandakrishnan has traveled to Antarctica 17 times in the
past 25 years to study glacial ice streams, frozen rivers of ice that flow from the center of an ice sheet and out to sea. These streams can be
up to 100 miles in length, a mile deep and 50 miles wide, and most of the melting ice flows through them.
