Global Glacier Melt Accelerates, Threatening Freshwater Supplies and Raising Sea Levels

The mass of glaciers worldwide decreased by 6.542 billion tons between 2000 and 2023, which added 18 millimeters to global sea level rise, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

Global glacier melt is accelerating, scientists say

PARIS — 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. The world's glaciers, which are important climate regulators and hold freshwater resources for billions, are rapidly melting as the world warms. In a first-of-its-kind global assessment, an international team of researchers found…

Climate change is shrinking glaciers faster than ever, with 7 trillion tons lost since 2000

(AP) — Climate change is accelerating the melting of the world’s mountain glaciers, according to a massive new study that found them shrinking more than twice as fast as in

Glacier ice melting continues to accelerate, causing huge problems

Glaciers are melting rapidly, reducing ice and freshwater supplies, increasing sea levels, and threatening global water security.

The global melting of glaciers has accelerated in the last decade, reveals an unprecedented study, according to which this phenomenon, which feeds an irreversible rise in sea levels, could be faster than expected in the future.
