Huge glaciers between Pakistan and China GROWING – not melting…(Yep!…Ice Age)

Surprise, surprise. Turns out that “only a few hundred of the roughly 200,000 glaciers worldwide have been monitored for a decade or more.”
“A team of French glaciologists has recently confirmed that glaciers in the Karakoram Range between northern Pakistan and western China “on average have remained stable or may have even grown slightly in recent years,” says this article by Rob Waugh.
The glaciologists used satellite data to study the area, which accounts for 3 percent of the total ice-covered area in the world, excluding Greenland and Antarctica.
“A sensitive ranging system allows researchers to measure the distance of the two (GRACE) satellites down to as small as 1 micron- about 1/100 the width of a human hair – and to calculate ice and water amounts from particular regions of interest around the globe using their gravity fields.”
“The researchers found that the ice had actually increased in thickness by 0.11 (plus or minus 0.22) meters per year between 1999 and 2008.”
This flies in the face of UN claims that Himalayan glaciers would melt to a fifth of current levels by 2035, leading to sea level rises and drought.
