Greenland's Melting Glaciers: Natural Warming?
Fox News
Environmental activists who point to Greenland's melting coastal glaciers as graphic evidence of man-made global warming may have to find another example. That's according to a new study which shows the glaciers have been shrinking since the 1880s.
Danish scientists analyzed 19th century maps and modern satellite images, finding that 70 percent of Greenland's glaciers have been melting regularly for more than 100 years, and shrunk the most between 1964 and 1985.
The scientists conclude that the melt is "the result of the atmosphere's natural warming," along with greenhouse gases which have "aggravated the situation."
