And this year the French came to report 26% of the French ice fields are gone in the last 40 years. 3 years ago the Swiss said the same thing about their ice fields., at the same meeting . This Fall has been the warmest and driest in the Alps in 147 years.
For a cargo cult these guys make good on their predictions.

That was happening as the French cult members flew to San Francisco to report the cult has managed to melt over 25% of the ice in France in the last 40 years -
Glaciers in the French Alps have lost a quarter of their area in the past 40 years, according to new research.
In the late 1960s/early 1970s, the ice fields slipping down Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountains of the European range covered some 375 sq km.
By the late 2000s, this area had fallen to about 275 sq km.
The research has been presented at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, the world's largest annual gathering of Earth scientists.
