Most glacial shrinkage in Austria occurred before 1950. This is a natural process

But verification and fact checking are so passé…
Sigh, what was it about being doomed to repeat history?
I found this:-

The retreat of the ice began more than 170 years ago.
Another home run, Tony!
Her timing is exquisite.
Austria avalanche: Skier survives five hours in ‘Christmas miracle’ (BBC, 27 Dec 2019)
The guy must’ve been buried under an avalanche of fake snow.
Are you really from Newcastle, Bruce?
I only ask because I’m in Wallsend.
I think Bruce is from Newcastle in Oz!!
I assumed so from the magpie avatar.
You hurt that snow flake….HOW DARE YOU.
Hard to tell from the grainy picture, but the photo posted by @Lauratobin looks more like melting snowbanks. Some of the large snowbanks at high latitudes (or altitude) only melt in late summer, exposing bare outcrop. Annual exposure to air and sun is too short to allow new growth of vegetation. The cycle goes on year after year… see that all the time in the Arctic.
Tony,
the glacial shrinkage in Austira was not going on for 20000 years.
The glacier advanced during LIA and again in the 1920s and in 1970/80s, with shrinking between these periods.
Stating that glacier retreat in the euopean alps is not related to climatic change is baltantly wrong (I do NOT refer to CO2 changes).
He did not say “glacial shrinkage has been going on for the last 20,000 years”. He said the process has been going on, meaning since the last peak of the last glacial period during the Pleistocene Epoch. Though there have been times glaciers have advanced since then the general trend has always been melting and glaciers receding since that time.
No mater how you describe the observed glacial processes, they have to do with cliamte change.
Spare a thought for those in Iceland this christmas-
“There has never been snow even similar like this,” says Valgeir Þorvaldsson. “When we were building these houses, you did not think that you would have to shovel these roofs like this. I think the snow is nine meters (more than 29 feet!) deep.”
Glaciers up in the Alps are shrinking…. My God we need to drop everything immediately and shred the Constitution and impose One World Government. Umm… can I have the contract for printing the new money?
Of course not! China has dibs on that from the EU.
