Readers of this article are left with one glaring question.Why?
The Express heavily slices Associated Press content to fit its smaller format. I'm assuming a copy editor quickly cut the article to fit the space, not realizing the cause of the rapid glacial melting had been lost.
Taking a look at the full AP article, you can find the critical information they left on the cutting room floor:
It's just one example of how sloppy journalism muddies the waters on the urgent need for climate action."There are many canaries emerging in the climate change coal mine," UNEP's executive director Achim Steiner said in a statement. "The glaciers are perhaps among those making the most noise and it is absolutely essential that everyone sits up and takes notice."
He urged governments to agree stricter targets for emissions reductions at an international meeting next year in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.

"Sloppy journalism"? I think it takes some serious rose-colored glasses to give the editors of the WAPO the benefit of the doubt on this.
More like willful, knowing malfeasance.
That said, I just discovered this site and I LOVE it! Keep up the great work.
Yet more SCIENTIFIC evidence that global warming is very real and Republicans continue to push this as "hippie latte liberal alarmism."
