Comparative photos of Mount Everest 'confirm ice loss'
The 1921 photo (left) and the photo taken from the same position in 2010 Experts say comparing the 1921 photo (left) with the photo of 2010 proves that the ice mass is disappearing
Photos taken by a mountaineer on Everest from the same spot where similar pictures were taken in 1921 have revealed an "alarming" ice loss.
The Asia Society (AS) arranged for the pictures to be taken in exactly the same place where British climber George Mallory took photos in 1921.
"The photographs reveal a startling truth: the ice of the Himalaya is disappearing," an AS statement said.
"They reveal an alarming loss in ice mass over an 89-year period."

Now why did I think this had no science except for people's opinion, basically editorialised. The motive here is clear even if you do not read it!
So what if Everest's cap is not as covered, we are comparing it to 89 years ago, this is an appreciable time for NORMAL cyclic-climate change, but no science just pictures!
