Himalayan Glaciers expected to melt by 2035

Climate change may cause the glaciers of the Himalayans to recede at a much higher rate than anyone could have anticipated. Continuous carbon emissions in the atmosphere causes increased temperatures, which forces glaciers to recede at very high speeds. Seventy percent of all glaciers in the Himalayan mountain range are starting to retreat and most of them could be gone by 2035.
Himalayan glaciers are the largest spreads of ice after the polar caps. During the dry season glaciers supply
the majority of water to crops throughout the region. A reduction in their levels could adversely affect the lives of millions of people.
