That list is crap
If you pull papers out at random you will soon find it is not what it says on the label.
we have already done that.
ie

ABSTRACT. Norway and New Zealand both experienced recent glacial advances, commencing in the early 1980s and ceasing around 2000, which were more extensive than any other since the end of the Little Ice Age. Common to both countries, the positive glacier balances are associated with an increase in the strength of westerly atmospheric circulation which brought increased precipitation. In Norway, the changes are also associated with lower ablation season temperatures. In New Zealand, where the positive balances were distributed uniformly throughout the Southern Alps, the period of increased mass balance was coincident with a change in the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation and an associated increase in El Niño/Southern Oscillation events. In Norway, the positive balances occurred across a strong west-east gradient with no balance increases to the continental glaciers of Scandinavia. The Norwegian advances are linked to strongly positive North Atlantic Oscillation events which caused an overall increase of precipitation in the winter accumulation season and a general shift of maximum precipitation from autumn towards winter. These cases both show the influence of atmospheric circulation on maritime glaciers.

In comparison, New Zealand’s smaller glaciers, especially those west of the Main Divide, are somewhat unusual because they have their source in areas of extremely high precipitation. So, for instance, these glaciers advanced during most of the 1980s and 1990s when the area experienced about a 15% increase in precipitation, associated with more El Niño events. In most of the rest of the world (with the exception of parts of Norway), glaciers tend to be in areas of lower precipitation, so rising temperatures are affecting the glaciers there more directly and sooner.

“The iconic Franz Josef glacier is still much shorter now than in 1900,” says Dr Salinger. “Franz Josef glacier retreated about 400 metres from 2000–2005, then advanced 170 metres to 2007, but this recent gain does not compensate for the large overall losses seen over the past century.”

well gee wind patterns change rainfall which effects glaciers.
The paper has nothing about global warming…

I just looked it has mostly papers by these guys. The 3%
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientists_opposing_the_mainstream_scientific_assessment_of_global_warming
Wonder why it has so many referencing so few out of the thousands of papers and tens of thousands of scientists out there?
Including such discredited nuts as M&M with their silly program that had a hidden applet that made just what they falsely accused mann off and Nils-Axel Morner the totally discredited guy that was caught photo shopping photos .
Really here is a list of climate scientists notice how many there are and how few cites your heroes get.
It is not a conspiracy they just do crap scince that no one takes as off value.

I just don’t believe this story:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/home-property/72322454/milliondollar-apartment-in-wellington-gutted-after-fish-tank-accident
Could a leaking fish tank really do $1.3m worth of damage to the apartment below?

Depends on how big the fish tank was. Your standard “kids” tank (2ft x 1ft x 1ft, say) doesn’t hold that much, but I’ve a relatively modest mid-size tank that holds about 150 litres of water (3ft(l) x 18in(h) x 15in(w)). They come considerably larger than than that – 500 litres +.

Trump agrees with stephieboy: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/09/donald-trump-fox-news-213971

Citing unfair treatment, Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is not going to appear on any Fox News shows “for the forseeable future.”

“@FoxNews has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won’t be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future,” Trump tweeted.
