Scientists have a new projection for the glaciers of Europe’s highest mountain range, concluding all but a third of the Alpine glaciers will disappear by the end of this century - even under the most optimistic climate change scenarios. And if emissions really do pursue a business-as-usual trajectory, there will be virtually no glacier ice on the mountains come 2100. The finding come from an EU-funded research project led by Aberystwyth University in Wales. The project’s coordinator, Professor Neil Glasser, explained how they worked out these projections of glacier retreat.

All this added water vapor in the atmosphere...I imagine we have models showing how much increased cloud cover will result...and how the earth's albedo will increase...and how much less solar energy will be deposited into the global heat equation as a result. Question is, is the partial differential for water vapor greater, or less than, the partial differential for CO2? What are the partial differentials for particulates (fires, volcanoes, and man-made)? Can humanity really control the global heat equation, and set the exactly right average mean global temperature, or even maintain it within an "acceptable" range?
