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.

100% of people reading this article on FR will be dead in 2100 and will not be able to hold the author accountable for his fantasy.

The only thing you can predict 77 yrs from now is that people will be no wiser than they are today.

Damn that big yellow globe in the sky. It can't make up its mind whether to heat the Third rock or cool it. The pisser is that it has had millions of years to make up its mind.

You'd think if Al Gore and Greta can predict doomsday within a few hundred years, the Sun would have some clue.

Perhaps the most amazing thing about this article is the shocking news that UPI still exists.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Crisis-manufacturing, junk science global warming alarmists are now at least bluffing dates when many of us will no longer be around to witness their failed predictions.

In the meanwhile, I'm still waiting for global warming alarmists to explain why greenhouse gasses like methane and CO2 fail to hold the heat down during a midday solar eclipse of an otherwise warm sunny day.

Solar eclipse 2017: How much did the temperature change during the eclipse? (non-FR; 8.22.17)

Also, is it any surprise that nighttime temperatures typically keep dropping in various places until shortly after sunrise?
