Accelerating Glacier Melt: Rising Sea Levels, Freshwater Shortages, and Unforeseen Microorganism Release"
Due to human-caused climate change, 275,000 glaciers are shrinking at an alarming rate, resulting in a 36% faster decline between 2012 and 2023, causing rising sea levels (18mm since 2000), disrupting freshwater sources, impacting ocean currents, and releasing unknown microorganisms.
