"Glaciers have been in a general retreat worldwide since the end of the last Ice Age."

"Scientists say the phenomenon has been occurring for more than a century, suggesting that manmade emissions of carbon dioxide are combining with purely natural factors, such as a shift in jet streams pumping warmer air into traditionally cooler northern climes."
