Much of the world's largest deposits of glacial dust in Tibet - the polar ice, NASA from scientists and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Absorb the incoming solar radiation is not contributing to a new study to escape the crowd and dust can be deposited into speed. The snow was enough to melt the ice.

Tibetan Plateau temperature - even the world "third pillar" is called - the air warmed by 0.3 ℃ 0.5 ℃, the past 30 years every 10 years (F), approximately two times faster than the compliance of the Earth temperature rise. And new research. Quantitative modeling can rival the impact of greenhouse gases in the soot and global warming the glaciers in Tibet continues.
