Rapid melting of worlds glaciers proven to be man-made

2014-08-15 16:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Blue and Green: A study has found that more than two-thirds of the recent rapid melting of the Earths glaciers can be attributed to human activity. In a new study, scientists have analysed glaciers melting activities since 1851, but did not find any evidence of man-made effects up until the middle of the twentieth century. However, since 1991, there has been a huge increase in glacial melting, with 69% proven to be due to human activity. Ben Marzeion, a climate scientist at the University of Innsbruck...

Study blames humans for most of melting glaciers

2014-08-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Associated Press: More than two-thirds of the recent rapid melting of the worlds glaciers can be blamed on humans, a new study finds. Scientists looking at glacier melt since 1851 didnt see a human fingerprint until about the middle of the 20th century. Even then only one-quarter of the warming wasnt from natural causes. But since 1991, about 69 percent of the rapidly increasing melt was man-made, said Ben Marzeion, a climate scientist at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. Glaciers are really shrinking...

Humans now strongest driver of glaciers melting, study finds

Press Association: Melting of glaciers caused by human activity has soared in the past 20 years, a study has shown. Human influence is now the strongest driver of glacier melting, which has been occurring since the end of the Little Ice Age in the mid-19th century, it is claimed. Between 1851 and 2010, only a quarter of glacial mass loss was due to human-induced climate change, scientists calculated. But during the last two decades of that period the human contribution rose to two thirds. Lead researcher...

Scientists looking at glacier melt since 1851 didn't see a human fingerprint until about the middle of the 20th century. Even then only one-quarter of the warming wasn't from natural causes.

Melting glaciers are caused by man-made global warming, study shows

2014-08-14 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Independent: The dramatic melting of the worlds mountain glaciers from the Alps to the Himalayas is mostly the result of man-made global warming rather than natural variability in the climate, a study has found. Scientists have laid to rest the idea that glaciers as far apart as Patagonia and Indonesia are melting primarily because of natural changes to the climate caused by such things as solar variability and volcanic eruptions. An assessment of about 200,000 glaciers in the world, some of which...
