OTOH it's pretty easy to find the same type of
partisan-inspired screeching about increased snowfall &
growing glaciers by a simple Google search. For example:

http://www.iceagenow.com/Growing_Glaciers.htm

"Think about that. Snow is accumulating over an area bigger
than the continental
United States. How in the world are sea levels supposed to
rise, if so much moisture
is getting locked up on land as ice? (They're not.)"

Problem: the referenced article is about a new Antarctic
science station design and doesn't say a thing about
increasing snow accumulation.
