Explanation of melting glaciers
I'm a keen mountaineer, only for the past few years, but even in that time the glaciers I have climbed on are just disappearing. I went back to one glacier after not seeing it for 3 years last summer, and I honestly thought that I was in entirely the wrong place because where there used to be vast expansive, and unbelievable amounts of Ice, was now all rocks and boulders, with the Ice being a good 2km up the mountain. And its not just a trend for the last 5 years. I have seen photos from 50 years a go and it has been progressive. In my opinion, ice won't melt if there hasn't been an increase in the temperature. What I have seen is data that can't be fiddled, can't be changed, and hasn't been affected by a recent small change in temperature. So unless someone has surreptitiously been salting the glaciers, I'm willing to accept global warming as a option, until someone can come up with another valid reason.
