Open letter to Congressman Dave Reichert

Are you aware that glaciers are growing in Washington State?

3 Jul 09 Dear Congressman Reichert, As a resident of Washington State, I feel betrayed by your vote for the Control-and-Tax bill, a bill purportedly designed to fight “global warming.”



What global warming? Dave, are you aware that glaciers are growing in your own state? Yes, glaciers are growing in Washington State. The Nisqually Glacier on Mt. Rainier is growing. The Emmons Glacier on Mt. Rainier is growing. Crater Glacier on Mount St. Helens is growing. (Crater Glacier is now larger than it was before the 1980 eruption.) Glaciers on Mt. Shuksan in northern Washington are growing. Glaciers on Glacier Peak in northern Washington are growing. Congressman Reichert, I wish you would ask the US Forest Service for a list of glaciers in Washington State, and ask them to tell you – honestly - which ones are growing. I have a feeling that there are more growing glaciers than any of us have been told. My fear is that that there is a giant cover up going on, especially given the fact that glaciers are also growing on California’s Mt. Shasta, and that glaciers are growing in Alaska for the first time in 250 years. In May, Alaska’s Hubbard Glacier was advancing at the rate of seven feet per day. Every time I read about another growing glacier, I’m told that it's “the only glacier in the world that is bucking the global warming trend.” But that’s not true. Perito Moreno Glacier, the largest glacier in Argentina, is growing. Pio XI Glacier, the largest glacier in Chile, is growing. Glaciers are growing on Mt. Logan, the tallest mountain in Canada. Glaciers are growing on Mt. Blanc, the tallest mountain in France. Glaciers (230 of them) are growing in the Western Himalayas. Glaciers are growing in Norway. Recently, all 50 glaciers in New Zealand were growing. The Greenland Ice Sheet is growing thicker. And contrary to what we’ve being told, the Antarctic Ice Sheet is also growing, not shrinking. More than 90 percent of the world’s glaciers are growing, but all that we hear about are the ones that are shrinking. As author of the book Not by Fire but by Ice, and publisher of www.iceagenow.com, I can verify the facts that I am presenting to you today. Respectfully,

Robert W. Felix
