    Typical desperate cherrypicking of Deniers. The vast majority of glaciers worldwide have dramatically receeded in past 75 years. Yes, most have still yet to completely vanish (takes time) but here is at least one example: Puncak Jaya, the last Glacier on the island of New Guinee is basically gone. Look at the the pick below from the first overflight in 1936 (a decade before Gore was born) versus 2016. You can watch a recent fly-over on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfXRA2oDtcE&t=139s) for a better comparion. Those sad little ice patches do not qualify as a glacier anymore - so knock at last one off the stupid meme, with many more to come.
