Are the glaciers in Glacier National Park growing?

Re-blogging this just for reference. The positions stated by Dr. Roots are unscientific–without rigorous metrics. Interesting to note the NPS signage.

Glacier National Park (GNP) straddles the continental divide along Montana’s border with Canada.  Ever since Al Gore’s 2006 film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” the Park has been seen as ground zero in the international battle over manmade global warming.  Almost every major figure promoting apocalyptic-manmade-global-warming-by-CO2 hysteria has made a publicized visit to the Park.

    They have 2 years until they’ll need to change their signs.
