World's glaciers melting faster than ever recorded
The world's glaciers are melting faster than ever recorded under the impact of climate change, according to the most comprehensive scientific analysis to date. Mountain glaciers - frozen rivers of ice – act as a freshwater resource for millions of people worldwide and lock up enough water to raise global sea-levels by 32cm (13in) if they melted entirely.
Scots study exposes world's glaciers melting at alarming speed
The alarming scale and speed the world’s glaciers are melting at has been exposed in a major Scots-led international study.
Climate Change Is Shrinking Glaciers Faster Than Ever, With 7 Trillion Tons Lost Since 2000
University of Colorado ice scientist Ted Scambos, who also wasn't part of the study, said glaciers shrank and grew in the past for local, well-understood reasons that were not cli
World's glaciers melting at record rate because of climate change, says study
Scientists believe the melting glaciers have led to sea levels rising by two centimetres in the last 25 years - the fastest ever recorded. They believe that from 2000 to 2023, the world's glaciers have lost more than 6,
Global glacier melt is accelerating, scientists say
Ice loss from the world's glaciers has accelerated over the past decade, scientists said on Wednesday, warning that melting may be faster than previously expected in the coming years and drive sea levels higher.
Glaciers melting much faster than expected, scientists warn
Leading scientists are warning that the world's glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate far faster than had ever previously been anticipated.
