Mendenhall Glacier is the bane of the Global Warming AGW Alarmists because it clearly and scientifically belies the claim that man-made CO2 caused the northern hemisphere glaciers to start the current (this InterGlacial) melting and retreat that began in 1750.

USAtoday: Alaska's tourist-packed capital ponders fate as popular Mendenhall Glacier recedes
Alaska's capital ponders fate as tourist-drawing glacier recedes (usatoday.com)
But climate change is melting the Mendenhall Glacier. It is receding so quickly that by 2050, it might no longer be visible from the visitor center it once loomed outside.

This blog focused on Mendenhall’s retreat after a personal visit to the glacier and documenting the visitors center graphic showing massive retreat starting in 1750 through 1950, clearly prior to and not the result of the so-called man-made CO2. Mendenhall’s history is also consistent with the other northern hemisphere glaciers.
1750 being the end of the Little Ice Age - start of major glacial retreat.
1950 being the start of build-up of atmospheric CO2.

Mendenhall Glacier Retreat And Natural Global Warming and the retreat of four other Northern Hemisphere Glaciers
"Natural" Global Warming ended the Little Ice Age and caused massive glacier retreat in the Northern Hemisphere for over 200 years before there was any significant Man-made CO2.

THE END OF THE LITTLE ICE AGE, MENDENHALL GLACIER, JUNEAU, ALASKA

This article also explains why glacier melting and retreat, once started, accelerates as additional heat-absorbing materials are exposed to the atmosphere and sun without any assistance from CO2.
