Global warming speeds glacier melt says researchers
A study led by Mark Meier at the University of Colorado finds glaciers worldwide receding faster than expected due to global warming. Over the last century mid latitude glaciers have thinned and shrunk, with notable losses in Mount Kenya and Russia’s Caucasus, signaling rising seas and greater storm impact.
