You need not travel to the Himalayas or the Arctic to see the effects of climate change and warming.
You can see the effects right here in the US.
On place to see the effects of climate change is Collier Glacier, on Middle Sister, in Three Sisters Wilderness, Oregon.
For over 100 years, photographers have been documenting Collier Glacier from an overlook called Glacier View. The result, as seen in the video, is side by side photographic documentation of the glacier's retreat, which is dramatic.
Ironically, at present rates, within about 20 years, the glacier may not even be visible any longer from Glacier Viewpoint.

Wetdog:
it looks to me like the glacier has been receding even before the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
