GUEST: UW atmospheric sciences professor, Cliff Mass, responds to a Seattle Times report that glaciers in King County's Cascade Mountain peaks are disappearing. Mass notes that Cascade Mountain glaciers in King County have been shrinking for the last 100 years. Mass says "natural decline" from the Little Ice Age between 1600-1850s play a part along with human discharged fossil fuels/CO2. Mass says higher elevation glaciers (in the Cascades) are in much better shape than lower elevations, "the impacts (of the Cascade glaciers) are not that large..I think that's the truth", Mass addresses the status of Western WA river water temperature.
