Is this proof that Al Gore cannot use the Internet?

Al Gore's blog:  Ice and Snow Disappearing from Mt. Rainier June 26, 2011 : 2:57 PM

The effects of the climate crisis are hitting closer and closer to home:

"About 14 percent of the ice and permanent snow atop Washington state's Mount Rainier melted in the past four decades, a new study suggests. Researchers arrived at that figure by comparing the estimated thickness and extent of ice seen in a 1970 aerial survey with those measured in 2007 and 2008. All but two of the 28 glaciers and snowfields on the mountain have thinned and shortened at their lower edges . . .
Al's source was Washinton Post.

I wonder if the Gorical noted that the study ended in 2008 and it now 2011. If the Gorical had checked the Internet, he would have discovered that Mt. Rainier is covered in snow this year, as we are now in a cool PDO with a La Niña weather pattern. Details on Cascade snow pack here.   

[June 21, 2011] Too much snow will keep the Sunrise area in Mount Rainier National Park closed through the Fourth of July weekend and until at least July 8, according to park officials. Also, the White River Campground won’t open until July 1.

As the accompanying photos show, there really is a lot of snow still waiting to melt away at Sunrise.
 

I wonder if it occurred to the Gorical that 1970 was near the end of a 30 year cooling period, followed by a warming period that ended about 2000, and we are now going back to a cooling PDO.  If the Gorical knew how to use the Internet, he would be up on the latest snow fall events on Mt. Rainier.

But, then again the Goricals mission is not the truth, but to scare people to join his anthropogenic global warming religious cult.
