Most (about 2/3) of the recent recession of the glacier occurred between 1860 and 1957 and can not be ascribed to the anthropic emissions of CO2 which were then insignificant: 0,083 Gt - C in 1859, 1,3 Gt - C in 1940 and 2,2 Gt - C in 1956 with an assumed CO2 content of the air - from Law Dome ice core - of 286 ppm in 1859, 310 ppm in 1940 and 314 ppm in 1956.
