Over the last four decades, the world’s 150,000 glaciers have lost the equivalent of a 70 foot thick layer of ice due to global warming. It would also save him money in the long run by making his fields more productive. Some glaciers have also become shorter, while others have completely disappeared. The study was conducted by scientists from the University of California, Irvine, and the National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado. In the Tien Shan mountain range in central Asia, glacier retreat could also affect the water supply for around two million people within the next two decades. Ultimately, the great river basins of Asia, on which hundreds of millions rely, could also be affected.
