Leading Arctic Researcher Shows That Glacial Melt Slowed Substantially Since 1952 | Real Science

Had that rate of loss continued, there would have been no glaciers left in Alaska or Norway by 2002. Given that there are glaciers remaining, we can infer that the rate of ice loss was slower in the second half of the century than it was in the first half of the century.
