"Well, great. Let's see these peer-reviewed published studies that show the world's many hundreds of thousands of glaciers are overwhelmingly in number retreating faster than some sort of historic or prehistoric average. "

Satellites can do this and are doing this. But as I said in lower post, sea level rise directly reflects this, and since sea levels have been rising [for thousaunds of years] this means that in total glaciers are retreating. But since sea level rises have not significantly increased, the retreat of glaciers have not significantly increased.

The illusion of "dramatic" glacier retreat can be understood by knowing that glaciers are generally HUGE and part shown in the typical picture showing dramatic glacier retreat is usually a small portion of the total glacier.
