The hallmark Sigurdus style of unbased individual "science". Numerouno: once again do some reading. Oh yes, need to love your stance of intellectual superiority, and your inventive use of your "science". There is no reading in the world that shows the ice age starts this instant, as you seem to firmly believe.

there is the difference of where it starts and where it finishes and yes it could and might well have finished around Scandinavia but there is little proof to say it started there ..or any other glacier region by there nature glaciers are isolated things that take time and as you have said lots of snow to form .. were as an ice age depending on what you read can form in as little as 30 yrs

Global glaciation will always be indicated by an increase of the existing glaciers. If there is no glacial increase, there is no ice age either. What we ARE seeing is just the opposite, a shrinking of the existing glaciers.

The shrinkage in Norway is pretty interesting. There is now land being reclaimed that was lost to the glaciers during the LIA. Norway has records that go back centuries at to land taxes/ownership etc.
Looks like we are getting close to the Medieval Warm Period as far as glacier extent.

Nobody is "reclaiming" anything. The existing glaciers are shrinking EVERYWHERE.

I will let you find it to dispute me.

As far as Glaciers, overall they are shrinking. Some are growing, but the mass loss is overall negative.
400 years ago they were growing, now they are shrinking. I rather like the shrinking part.

You have only very limited data on any glaciers 400 years ago.

100% there is no paper such as you claim. Another one of your misleading postings without sources.

Icefisher, your "cultural heritage" (Kulturarv) page does not load. You prolly need to work on the "f*g" part.

You did not find that paper ... gee what a surprise!
That was supposed to be 100% there and myself 100% wrong, eh?

Being in the UK, I am fascinated by Numerouno's glaciation pictures a few posts ago. Sorry, don't know how to insert that one picture with the happy mammoth on it. Despite searching, I cannot find any current information about Norway's glaciers and wonder why the data isn't easily searchable. The best I can do is this article published in 2005 which talks about retreat. www.cicero.uio.no/fulltext/index_e.aspx?id=3561Where can we find latest data?
