Glaciers Melting at an Accelerated Pace

[Number_Cruncher]

Please see Fig. 9.1 of the TAR "Climatic interpretation of glacier records", compiled by Oerlemans, University of Utrecht, (Data from the World Glacier Monitoring Service). In nearly all the mountain glacier records, the vast bulk of glacial retreat occurred between 1900 and 1950, and the trends since then are not very clear. Not a very good proof of global warming and glacial retreat.

Glaciers have been melting for hundreds of years as the world has emerged from the Little Ice Age.
