Melting Glaciers Would Shrink Our World: Experts

Glaciers located in the European Alps would shrink by 75% by the end of the century, and impact of global warming.
The study, published in Geoscience, concludes that, globally, mountain glaciers and ice caps are set to lose 15-27% of their volume by 2100. This will substantially impacts regional water availability, and a rise in sea levels. Water supplies to cities like Kathmandu in Nepal and La Paz in Bolivia, would be affected.
Sea levels may see an increase of 8.7-16.1cm by 2100. Total sea level rise would be higher, if melting of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets – constituting more than 99% of the water on Earth bound up in glacier ice – occurs due to thermal expansion in the ocean. All studies since 2007 clearly indicate, sea levels will rise 1-2 metres by the end of the century.
Melting mountain glaciers and ice caps have caused sea level rises for the past 50 years.
