WESTERN EUROPE'S HIGHEST SUMMIT GETS TALLER
CHARMONIX, France, Oct 13, 2007 (AFP) - Western Europe's highest mountain Mont Blanc is taller than ever due to snow piled atop its summit, in what experts meeting in France Saturday described as a climate-change related phenomenon.
Can't melt eh?

sorry sid, Arctic.
So if the ice in the arctic keeps melting and the snows get heavier and heavier, what happens then?
Had internet problems since yesterday, and just back on the air.
Anthony, you are so right and yet so wrong.
'The monntain grew because of the snow dump'. Right.
The snow dump grew because of "global warming". Wrong...And how incredibly stupid. Yet that what the article says.
The fact is that the snow dump grew because "global warming" only exists in the virtual world of 'computer models', and in fact extremely cold conditions and extremely heavy snow falls created the snow dump.
And guess what you can learn in Yr. 7 Geography?
Snowfalls on mountains turn to ice and form glaciers which push down the slopes. Colder climatic conditions and heavy snow at the source causes glaciers to advance. Warmer conditions and less snow at the source causes the glacier to retreat.
Well it appears that the Mont Blanc glacier will be advancing for some time..."global warming" indeed!
Wow ice melt in antarctica. Does ice melt below zero? Better give us some facts on that one.
