Is the Top of Mount Rainier Shrinking Due to Global Warming?

Is the Top of Mount Rainier Shrinking Due to Global Warming?
 

The Seattle Times had a startling revelation on its front page last Sunday:  the top of Mount Rainier is shrinking due to global warming (see below). 

According to this article, the frozen ice cap at the summit is melting "as the atmosphere warms."   Unfortunately, this claim is false and can easily be shown to be untrue.  Another error-filled article by the Seattle Times Climate Lab, a journalistic enterprise funded by climate activists.
 
Why is this claim obviously false? 

Because the top of Mount Rainier is so high that temperatures at the crest are consistently below freezing, even with a warming planet.   

In addition, the added moisture associated with global warming would tend to INCREASE the amount of snow at that elevation (warm air can contain more water vapor than cooler air).

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Probably not, but my hemorrhoids swell up every time I hear the term global warming and are a pain in the ass. :thud:
