Just so we don't get too complacent with apparent Arctic recovery and the failure of the Northwest Passage to open, the Independent publishes this: "Melting glaciers are caused by man-made global warming, study shows" www.independent.co.uk/environment/melting-glaciers-are-caused-by-manmade-global-warming-study-shows-9669572.htmlThe article includes this glacial hockeystickness: "The study found that about 25 per cent of the global loss of glacier ice that occurred between 1851 and 2010 could be attributable to human influences, but that this rose to about 69 per cent between 1991 and 2010, based on computer simulations of the climate that included natural and man-made effects." Wonderful science at work here.....

Primarily caused by humans the article says.
YET, they do not attribute any papers to back up their claim.
Unbelievable the junk science now being published.

When the glaciers stop retreating, we will be in deep do do.
I don't care who or what is causing glacial retreat, I just know I don't want it to stop.

I hope Al Gore doesn't visit Scotland any time soon. If he does, the whole country will become ice bound.
