This is the kinda meme I'd share but I'd prefer the source data.

EDIT: I did a quick search of the interwebz and came up with this. (antarcticglaciers.org)

Snippet:

From the RGI, we can learn that there are 198,000 glaciers in the World. However, this is a slightly arbitrary quantity, as it depends on the quality of the digital elevation model used, mapping resolution, and the minimum-area threshold used. Most analysts use a minimum area threshold of 0.1 km2; they will not map anything smaller than this due to difficulties in distinguishing between glaciers and snowpacks. If these small glacierets are including, the number of glaciers in the World could be up to 400,000, but they would still only account for 1.4% of the World’s glacierised area.

Yeah, it seems interesting but I will have to dig into it more later.

you might say that the pace of change is... glacial

This isn't even disingenuous, it is fucking retarded, it's like saying we have the exact same number of people in the world since 1800, yes they are all still there, some are walking around, but most are actually dead and buried in the ground, but they all are still there right?

"2000–2019, glaciers lost a mass of 267 ± 16 gigatonnes per year, [..] and a mass loss acceleration of 48 ± 16 gigatonnes per year per decade,"

. .

tl:dr

yeh glaciers are all still there, because snow... they are just rapidly getting smaller for totally baffling unexplained reasons, like nobody has a single clue why this could possibly be happening...

fucking duh...

FIND A DIFFERENT ARGUMENT THAT IS NOT TOTALLY FUCKING STUPID AND OBVIOUSLY MISLEADING FOR FUCKS SAKE

it's really annoying

makes us look bad IMO, the Right should not be obsessed with pretending obvious things are not real

the Right should not be obsessed with pretending obvious things are not real

What the fuck are you babbling about?

"pretending obvious things are not real" regarding what, exactly?

"it's really annoying" "makes us look bad IMO, the Right should not be obsessed with pretending obvious things are not real" Like the himey's and the holocaust, right? Where the jews claim to have lost "six million," and the census at the time prior to WW2 listed them well under a million (even less).
