The Global 🌍 temperature is currently estimated to be increasing by 2.7C which would result in a near-complete loss of glaciers 🧊 ECRNewsWatch GlobalWarming
The findings, published in the journal Science on Thursday, provide the most comprehensive look so far at the future of the world's 215,000 glaciers.
"Every degree increase produces more melt and loss," said Regine Hock of the University of Oslo and University of Alaska Fairbanks, a co-author of the study. That would represent about 26 percent of the world's glacier mass because the smallest glaciers would be those first impacted. "But they have contributed to sea level rise almost just as much as the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet together in the last three decades," she said.
"It's mostly associated storm surges," she said, which have the potential to cause "a lot more damage."
