Irreversible Glacier Loss Projected Even with Reduced Warming
A new study in Nature Climate Change reveals that even a temporary exceedance of the 1.5°C global warming limit will cause irreversible damage to mountain glaciers for centuries, with smaller glaciers potentially not recovering before 2500, impacting downstream water resources and sea levels.

Mexican Glaciers Near Extinction Due to Climate Change
Mexican glaciers, once 18, are now reduced to three due to climate change; the Ayoloco glacier on Iztaccíhuatl was declared extinct in 2018, highlighting a significant loss of ice cover since the 1920s and the vulnerability of high-altitude ecosystems.

Accelerating Glacier Melt Triggers Global Water Crisis
On March 21st, the first World Glacier Day highlights the rapid disappearance of glaciers, with a 9,000 gigaton loss since 1975, accelerating sea level rise and threatening water resources for hundreds of millions, impacting regions like Central Europe most severely.

Record Rainfall in Spain Offers Drought Relief Amidst Global Glacial Melt Concerns
Spain's March 2024 rainfall exceeded average levels by 64%, significantly improving reservoir levels and offering relief from prolonged drought; however, this contrasts with the global threat of glacial melt due to rising temperatures.

Greenland Ice Sheet Cracking Faster, Accelerating Sea Level Rise
A study reveals a 4.3 percent increase in crevasses in the Greenland Ice Sheet between 2016 and 2021, with some areas showing a 25 percent increase, accelerating ice melt and contributing to rising sea levels due to human-induced warming.

Svalbard Glaciers Retreat: A Century of Photographic Evidence
Swedish photographer Christian Aslund's before-and-after photos of Svalbard glaciers, spanning over a century, reveal a drastic reduction in glacial mass due to Arctic warming, which is happening twice as fast as the rest of the planet, and is projected to create ice-free summers by 2050.
