An important thing to note though is that these are *local* trends, not *global* trends. While there are isolated cases of glacier growth, there's far more evidence of glacial ablation.

What's important to me with this issue is your last statement. Finding examples of glacial expansion should not qualify as a reason, in-and-of itself, to make a claim that global warming is therefore not occurring.
To do so, in my estimation, would be like saying global warming can't be occurring because it's really friggin' cold outside today.

It seems to me that people tend to prefer to believe what they want to be real or true, despite evidence to the contrary.
When what you believe is refuted by evidence, you are faced with a choice.
