Read here. New peer-reviewed research finds that at least 50% of the Swiss Alp glacier retreat and melt is due to natural variability, not the 100% man-made cause assigned by the IPCC. The study also suggests that the natural glacier variability is probably true for all glaciers, worldwide.
"In the relatively well-monitored Swiss Alps, however, Huss and his team managed to gather some 10,000 in situ observations that had been made over the past 100 years, and constructed three-dimensional computer models of 30 glaciers. By comparing a time series of daily melt, snow accumulation and ice and snow volume readings of the glaciers with a widely used index of the AMO [Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation], they teased out the impact of natural climate variability. Although the mass balance of individual glaciers varied, the long-term overall trend followed the pulse of the AMO.....Natural climate variability is likely to have driven twentieth-century glacier shrinkage and thinning in other parts of the world, says Kaser. For example, his own research on the glaciers of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania suggests that their dramatic recession is mainly due to multidecadal fluctuations in air moisture"
