Up to half of the world’s glaciers could disappear due to climate change, according to a recent study from the World Glacier Monitoring Service. The study, which was published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that the world’s glaciers have lost an average of more than 11 percent of their volume since the turn of the century.

The study found that glaciers are melting faster than ever before and that the melting rate has increased in recent years. The glaciers are melting due to rising temperatures and other effects of climate change, such as changes in precipitation patterns and rising sea levels. The study concluded that if temperatures continue to rise, up to half of the world’s glaciers could be gone by 2100.

These findings are concerning because glaciers are important for providing freshwater to many communities around the world. The melting of glaciers can also lead to flooding and other dangerous environmental effects. It is clear that action must be taken to reduce the effects of climate change and protect the world’s glaciers.
