NY Times: As Alaska Warms, Glaciers Stage a Ferocious Dance
“These glaciers in Alaska are changing very fast, and probably at an accelerated rate,” Dr. Harrison said. “But `why’ is the real issue. `Why is it warm?’ It’s a societal question. But my own opinion is that at a time when we’re dumping all this crud into the atmosphere, and changing the surface of the earth, it seems like too big a coincidence to me for us to be innocent Û that just when we’re getting industrially active, it’s the warmest it’s been in the last 5,000 years.”
I spent time on glaciers in Chilean Patagonia and they are awesome to behold. They moving ice can make weird noises in the middle of the night.
