Humans to Blame for World's Melting Glaciers
2014-08-15 22:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: As our world warms, glacial ice continues to retreat. However, scientists have now come to realize that humans are mostly to blame, rather than being able to solely peg it on natural climate fluctuations, according to a new study. Glacier extent actually responds very slowly to climate changes. In fact, it typically takes glaciers decades or centuries to adjust. The global retreat of these massive chunks of ice started around the middle of the 19th century at the end of the Little Ice Age. Though...

Humans to blame for much of recent glacier melt
2014-08-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: From Alaska to the Alps, photos of today's diminished glaciers contrasted with grainy black-and-white images of their former, more massive states are some of the most widely used examples of the impact of human-caused climate change, with their melt threatening water supplies, enhancing sea level rise, and posing threats like floods from bursting glacial lakes. "Everybody is using [these photos],' said Ben Marzeion, a climate scientist with the University of Innsbruck in Austria. "But nobody actually...

Humans Are to Blame for Earth's Rapidly Melting Glaciers
2014-08-14 20:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The steady melt of glacial ice around the world is largely due to man-made factors, such as greenhouse-gas emissions and aerosols, a new study finds. Humans have caused roughly a quarter of the globe's glacial loss between 1851 and 2010, and about 69 percent of glacial melting between 1991 and 2010, the study suggests. "In a sense, we got a confirmation that by now, it is really mostly humans that are responsible for the melting glaciers," said lead researcher Ben Marzeion, an associate professor...
