Climate variations and the enhanced greenhouse effect
Article Abstract:
An increase of two degrees celsius in northern Scandinavia may be attributable to solar irradiation variations, indicating that human influence may not be the source of climatic change. Information obtained from variations in tree-ring width, treeline limits and glacier size provided a history of temperature fluctuations correlating with solar activity.

Glacier fluctuations on Mount Kenya since ~6000 cal. years BP: implications for Holocene climatic change in Africa
Article Abstract:
Fluctuations in Mount Kenya's glaciers are used to estimate climatic changes for the African continent. Methodologies include analysis of pro-glacial lacustrine sediments, radiocarbon dating, and modeling of climate conditions.
