"Roof of the World Melting Away: Glaciers in Western China's Qinghai-Tibet plateau, known as the "roof of the world," are melting at a rate of 7 percent annually due to global warming." http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/05/02/china.glaciers.ap/index.html
So, it is, the roof of the world is melting. I wonder why. Last week it was cloudy and cold here. This week the sun is shining and it's warm. That made me think a lot. Isn't there any remote change that the current warming is caused by the sun? These guys seem to think so too: http://cc.oulu.fi/~usoskin/personal/2006GL0259211_pub.pdf I compared their results of the last 1000 years with Von Storchs Echo-G simulation and the well known multi proxi reconstruction "spaghetti" graph here: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Yes, it could be the sun, couldn't it? Especially where high altitude glaciers spend most of their time in the sun with only little cloudiness going on, they could be very good sun activity monitors. After all, it doesn't really matter if the temperature on those glaciers is -10C or -8C.
