1. This theory states that the Glaciers are growing. Science says this is wrong. Glaciers are actually loosing ice at an extensive rate, and around 90% of glaciers around the world right now are shrinking... not growing. Glaciers are not only dictated by air temperature changes but also by precipitation. Myth busted, since 2009 a majority of the glaciers have been constantly shrinking.
2. Global warming is from the sun! NOT. As global temperatures have been increasing, the sun has been headed in the opposite direction. The only way people could conclude that the sun could be the cause of this is from only looking at certain data- not through long periods of time.

Two new studies characterize tidal disruption flares by studying how surrounding dust absorbs and re-emits their light, like echoes. A black hole destroying a star, an event astronomers call 'stellar tidal disruption,' releases an enormous amount of energy, brightening the surroundings in an event called a flare. This approach allowed scientists to measure the energy of flares from stellar tidal disruption events more precisely than ever before. A new research shows that thunderstorms have 50 percent higher concentrations of mercury than other rain events. Mercury is a naturally occurring chemical element that is used in several devices such as thermometers, barometers, fluorescent lamps and other devices. Exposure to high levels of mercury can be dangerous. The states bordering the Gulf of Mexico have consistently seen the highest mercury deposition in the eastern U.S., typically double that of the northeast states. Scientists are trying to figure out how mercury enters ecosystems and the effects it has on humans and wildlife. I find this so interesting because something that is lethal is also coming down in rain. The things that can hurt us are in the things we need to survive. Its crazy to think that mercury is in thunderstorms and that it has 50% higher concentration. I wonder what scientists will find in the upcoming studies. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/08/160831103023.htm
