Thought this might interest you three. During the 1920s-1940s warm spell, Greenland glaciers also retreated. The researchers suggest that this is evidence the glacier retreats are related to atmospheric temperatures as opposed to other models that say, for instance, that they're related to magma "hot spots" beneath the crust in Greenland.
Note: I'm discounting the part where the researchers talk about an irreversible "tipping point," because 1.) that's not what this data is about, and 2.) researchers have a bias towards making their work seem important. But the correlation between the warming and glacier retreat is persuasive to me. Maybe that's obvious and uninteresting to all of you. :)
