I never stated, nor implied, that it did. Don't be so defensive.
Those are common arguments from climate change deniers.

I was just adding some data points, especially in regards to the study that Frank posted about the Sierra Nevada snowfall for the past 130 years.
They need to look at the snowfall for at least 130 years. Cherry picking a 10 year period is going to give false results.

The NASA/GRACE study I referenced was more about how new satellite technology is helping scientist determine – in a more accurate manner – the extent and pace of the land ice melt-off around the world. The results of the study demonstrates how previous methods of measuring the change in the size of the glaciers could prove to be inaccurate. In other words, it's an improvement over the past methods..
Many are trying to use the argument that the new method of measurement proves that they were wrong about all of climate change. The new method just shows us that the overall change is not equal around the globe, but we already knew that.
