Half of world's glaciers will vanish by year 2100 due to global warming, study says

Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Half of the world's glaciers will melt and disappear before the turn of the next century, according to alarming new research that predicts greater fallout from global warming despite meaningful efforts in recent years to address environmental concerns.

The study, published Thursday in the journal Science, projects that nearly 50% of the Earth's natural ice will dissolve by the year 2100, which is much quicker than scientists previously calculated if the planet warmed by only 1.5C -- a benchmark set by hundreds of nations to cut emissions and protect more land for nature and the environment.

The world's oceans would rise dramatically under such a scenario and lead to flooding and other major disasters around the world, according to the study, which analyzed glacial land ice but excluded Greenland and the Antarctic ice sheets.

Glacier ice melt accounts for more than one-third of the rise in sea levels, scientists say. Melting occurs naturally, but the climate crisis and increased temperatures have sped up the decline.

They learned their lesson last time, make your predictions for the future for a time when anyone who remembers you make the prediction can be safely assumed to be dead.

This is a great article on this topic:

The slimy National Park Service tried to hide the evidence of their blatant fearmongering and lying.

Oh come on now. Haven’t you heard of the plan to spray aerosols into the atmosphere? That is real.
We will all freeze in the dark if we allow these a-holes to push it much further.

We are about 13,000 years coming out of an ice age that lasted the previous 60,000 years. The sea levels were about 400 feet lower back then.

So…what is “normal” for earth?

New York, LA and San Francisco will be flooded and disappear!

That is a good thing for America

Every time temperatures creep a few degrees above 90 degrees one of our local TV weather guys trots out graphs and charts to “ prove” climate change. However, when we have had three major snow storms in four week and days of sub zero highs not a word about climate change.
