From this data, glaciers worldwide have been found to be shrinking significantly, with strong glacier retreats in the 1940s, stable or growing conditions during the 1920s and 1970s, and again retreating from the mid-1980s to the present.
Iz tih podataka se vidi da se svjetski ledenjaci značajno povlače i smanjuju, s jakim povlačenjem 1940-tih, stabilnim i rastućim periodom 1920-tih i 1970-tih, i ponovno povlačenje koje počinje od sredine 1980-tih.
