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.

I thought we are all going to be dead in six to seven years?
Aren’t we all supposed to be dead in about 8 1/2 years from globull warming.
OMG the end is near again BS.
Still looking for the Yosemite glacier. The abundance of climmunists is astounding. 😡👎
Nearly half the world’s scientists are less intelligent than the majority.
Now UPI has joined AP in the climate change propaganda game. I wonder how much they were compensated?
“Science” has become a Democrat party/bidenite mouthpiece, and a climate alarmist megaphone!
So excuse me if I don’t believe this alarmist scenario about the glaciers!!!!
They have been melting since the last Ice Age.
The grift that keeps on grifting.
The interesting part is they keep finding artifacts and green grass as it melts.
Only half? Get rid of them ALL!!!;)
Excellent!
We can mine the remaining Moraines, Kettles and Furrows for Gold, and reduce the National Debt.
I’m with you. Glaciers suck.
I say melt all of them.
But I thought this was already supposed have happened. And all the coastline cities are supposed to be under water by now.
They were going to be gone by 2000 and then again by 2020. I guess since we will all be gone by 2100, there is no harm in them predicting it for 2100 (as along as everyone ignores them). But don’t expect me to go without light and heat until then.
This isn’t true. ALL the glaciers disappeared by 2010.
Like the Arctic ice disappearing by 2015 or sea levels rising and flooding Obama’s beachfront mansion?
If woman can survive.
Great…. These we not present at earths origin. Even the fossil evidence agrees. Let’s get green!
Were they supposed to already be gone.
I thought the science said some time ago that they’d be gone by now??
Of course the science has no credibility as we were supposed to be in a new ice age by the mid 90’s, we see how that turned out.
And, the science has been wrong about every other prediction they’ve made.
