We’ve heard a lot about melting glaciers around the world. In Europe this includes Norway in the north to the Alps. However, it seems not everywhere in the Alps is playing ball with the alarmist paradigm. An ice core collected from Mont Blanc has been extracted – and it goes all the way back for at least 12,000 years. The scientists, it seemed, ‘were relieved to find that even under the normally warm climate of the 20th century, the ice core remained intact’ – suggesting the glacier had never melted at any time.
See https://phys.org/news/2025-07-scientists-ice-core-european-alps.html … for the story, and https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgaf186 .. for greater detail.
Over at https://dailygalaxy.com/2025/07/earth-most-dangerous-glacier-gaining-ice/ … we learn that glaciers on the Karakorum Mountains are gaining ice volume – in spite of global warming. Presumably these are measured by satellite so the data cannot be manipulated. One might think the global warming mantra is exaggerated – especially as Arctic ice is again on the increase.
At https://phys.org/news/2025-07-link-grand-canyon-landslide-meteor.html … an idea that has attracted a lot of media attention. Could a landslide in the Grand Canyon be contemporary a meteor strike at a well known crater in New Mexico. It is even called meteor crater. These two, we are assured, occurred around 56,000 years ago. However, the study relies on some dextrous dating methodology as the landslide has been redated on a couple of occasions as a result of problems getting back that far as it is beyond the C14 buffers at 42,000 years ago. Is it possible both events may coincide with the Laschamp event? Just a passing thought and not a considered opinion. The C14 buffer is still a challenge to dating methodologies but so far I have not seen any recognition that a major geomagnetic excursion, coinciding with weakened poles and therefore a heightened influx of solar and cosmic particles, including C12 and C14, might this cause dating anomalies?
