China Says Glaciers Shrink by up to 18 Pct

-------------------------

BEIJING - High altitude glaciers in China's remote west have shrunk

by up to 18 percent over the last five years due to global warming, state

media said on Friday, citing preliminary results from an on-going survey.

 

The shrinkage was most evident in two areas in the far Western region

of Xinjiang and in part of Tibet, the official Xinhua news agency said.

 

" The change of glaciers is in fact a manifestation of the

pressure upon China's environment from global warming, " it quoted

Ding Yongjian, a Chinese Academy of Sciences research fellow, as saying.

 

" Global warming has led to an increase in the average

temperature in the western area of China over the past few decades. This

has caused the glacial shrinking, a thawing of frozen earth and worsening

arid conditions, " it paraphrased him as saying.

China is set to overtake the United States as the world's top emitter

of carbon dioxide as early as this year, and is under rising

international pressure to curb emissions from its factories and vehicles.

 

But Beijing says its domestic energy efficiency programme is helping

cut its contribution to climate change and offered to do more in return

for clean technology from the developed world.

Its team has been widely praised at UN-led climate talks in Bali for

a positive and cooperative attitude. (Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing

Now you are hammering out, day in and day out, that the world as we

know it is about to go under in climate change. Could you not for a

change start to enlighten us about the causes......and what to do about

it. My information is, that there is even greater climate change going

on in our solar system......what cause those climate change.
