There's No Conspiracy in the 'Climategate' Emails

Today’s a great day for a look at a receding glacier:

Mendenhall Glacier


When I first saw the glacier in 1996, the rock out-crop on the right side of the glacier was under ice.

This glacier has been receding since the early 1700’s. Where my home is located would have been under the ice in 1700. I’ve always wondered what climate conditions changed around 1700 to cause this glacier to recede.
