New Study Pinpoints Amount of Glacier Melt Caused by Humans
Aug 18

Since the middle of the 19th century, an abundant number of glaciers have been melting. While scientists are unable to pinpoint the exact natural causes of the melt, the human reasons include soot, climate change (a result of burning oil, coal, and gas), and alterations in land use.
Although this study features an exceptional margin of error, the lowest possible percentage of melt caused by humans is still 45%, whereas the actual number could also be as high as 93%, a frightening prospect.
