There is concern that the region’s water supplies, fed by glaciers..... If the glaciers stop melting then there will be no glacier water.

Love your comment - finding a silver lining (nice mountain pics)in this environmental disaster
Speaking to the Chinese - why should they care? The only thing that matters to them whatsoever is catching up with the US, economically and militarily at all costs. Fools...

Duh!
