Besides, when you look at the world wide retreat of high altitude glaciers in the last 40 years, the decrease in the mass of the Greenland ice sheet, the increased melting and acceleration of glacial ice in Greenland, the decreasing thickness and rapidly accelerating summer melting of the Arctic ice cap, the collapse of large ice shelves in the Antarctic and the corresponding acceleration of glaciers there and the decrease of overall mass of Antarctic ice I hardly think that anything I say is more alarmist than what is already being reported year by year.
