Intermittent re-advance periods at regional and decadal scales are normally restricted to a smaller sample of glaciers and have not come close to achieving the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2011\/sep\/29\/little-ice-age\">Little Ice Age<\/a>\u00a0maximum positions reached between the 16th and 19th centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Glacier tongues in Norway, for example, have retreated by some kilometres from their maximum extents in the 19th century. The intermittent re-advances of the 1990s were restricted to glaciers in coastal areas, and to a few hundred metres.<\/p>\n<p>The study shows that the intense ice loss of the last two decades has resulted in what it calls \u201ca strong imbalance of glaciers in many regions of the world\u201d. And Dr Zemp warns: \u201cThese glaciers will suffer further ice loss, even if climate remains stable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He told Climate News Network: \u201cDue to the strong ice loss over the past few decades, many glaciers are too big under current climatic conditions. They simply have not had enough time to react to the climatic changes of the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo they will have to retreat further until they are in balance with climatic conditions again. In the European Alps, many glaciers would lose about 50% of their present surface area without further climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was produced by the<\/em> <em><a
