Default Latest Update on the Glaciers of the World

Accuweather
http://global-warming.accuweather.co...laciers_1.html

"For the year 2007, (which is the latest data from
the WGMS) the results indicate that there has
been an overall additional further loss of average
ice thickness of roughly 0.67 meter water
equivalent (m w.e.). Some glaciers in the
European Alps lost up to 2.5 m w.e."

Is the overall addition further loss of average
ice thickness primarily due to global warming?

Are there other factors that are way more important?
