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 keep pushing the date back.
If true and his is great news. There will be more farmland
This is great news
The notion that mankind is capable of changing the climate is False.
They don't want to repeat the same mistake as that idiot who stated that people in London won't see any snow in 10 years. He made the claim around 2000, and of course there have been many snow years after 2010. Thus you need to bond these outrageous claims by 'short enough to scare people, but long enough to not be verifiable (at least not in a lifetime)'.
Only half?
Study says?
Izzat a relative of the countless climate studies that have thus far contained as much truth as a NYT article?
Or a Biden speech?
Or - shudder - anything coming out of the Ho’s mouth?
Thought so.
Circular file, open up, please.
Oh oh. Will that affect polar bears? Watch for that to come.
No credibility. Besides the polar regions used to be grasslands millions of years ago. Maybe some fedzilla information adjusters at social media companies can make up some more faux individuals with faux Phd’s in climate science to feed us more propaganda?
Maybe they have National Archive Envy?
Never revealed, always concealed vs putting climate change alarmism benchmarks off into the far future.
K, i will mark it on my calendar.
I thought there was a war on mis-information.
They are beautiful look at and a reservoir of water. 100 year old photos show they are receding. What the Lord giveth, He taketh away.
There is nothing better for the earth than vast fields of land trapped under ice where no plants can grow
Glaciers have been melting because that is what they do, they melt and there is not a thing we can do about it
Experts say that in no one will be alive in the year 2525. I trust these experts more.
Because generations are born in different dates
