Except for the fact that solar cooling has occurred to such a level that global warming is temporarily offset. That is strictly temporary. Soon, the sun will reach its lowest ebb and global warming will overtake it again. This isn't proof against global warming, it's a temporary reprieve.

You might also want to mention the fact that the only reason glaciers are growing is because they melted so much in the past few years that they're currently at the flux point, at which seasonal changes are enough to show significant change in the snow mass. It's a false negative. You need to look at the greater trends.

What this means is that we're only slightly less screwed, and we have a little extra time to prepare for the unavoidable warming cycle that we're in.
