Spanning 2,000 kilometers and harboring some 600 billion tons of ice, Himalayan glaciers supply around 800 million people with water for irrigation, hydropower and drinking. But they have been losing almost half a meter of ice each year since the start of this century -- double the amount of melting that occurred between 1975 and 2000 -- according to the Columbia University researchers behind the study.
Undeniable climate change facts 01:48The researchers reviewed 40 years of satellite observations across India, China, Nepal and Bhutan and found that Himalayan glaciers have been retreating rapidly since 2000 due to an average 1 degree Celsius temperature rise in the region."[This is] one of the clearest pictures that we've seen yet of how fast [Himalayan] glaciers are losing ice over [this] interval," Maurer told CNN.

Fake News.
It saddens me to see what we are doing to this planet. The extinction everyday of different plant and animal life. The pollution we create causes this. Greenhouse effect. Our political leaders turn a blind eye? Why? Money? Greed? Campaign contributions? Sad...very sad
GreenNewDeal or Bust. Bernie2020
Dang, by all these studies sighting climate change for everything , I guess by CNN's analysis we'll all be dead by next week!
Beautiful 😍
and we are discovering a lot of the earth's past, it's a good thing
While Ted Cruz tweets about how happy he is the Trump administration is raping the EPA
Florida is completely submerged
4)Such will be far better than live in fear, or push for foolish policies such as carbon tax that will resolve NOTHING. Better the tax money be USED for ADAPTATION research,education&implementation than to line corrupt pockets.
Donald can you indeed read? Please read this then look up and find all the information gathered. After reading, you simply can’t say “No Climate Change. In a few years you Gold Condo will be under water! Think about that! Scary, isn’t it!
What a pile of BULL 💩.
only way to stop this is to give cortez $1 trillion right?
And yet the ice is growing at Glacier National Park, the North Pole, Greenland and Antarctica. Go figure! HargroveForCongress2020 NY11 WalkAway LEXIT BLEXIT JEXODUS Libertarian LP20 VoteLP StatenIsland Brooklyn FlipItGold
Fake news fake news
Your article has a lot of flaws in it. Isn't it summer in Greenland? That's y the melt, happens every year. So BS on this garbage
Now do Greenland
Yes yes yes we get it we all die in 12 yrs unless we pay a carbon tax FFS
God is heating the planet for the end time fires. When volcanoes will open up and envelope the earth.He said in His Word that He would not flood it again as in the Great Flood, but would destroy it by Fire. Hope for the Born Again Christian who will be in Heaven John 3-3. Repent!
Obama and loser Hilarious 😂 Clinton called for anarchy in ME that claimed the lives of 10000s, while the pro-democrats media pretend to care about climate change, American hypocrisy
Unless you ask the people who actually measure glacier melt. Then not so much. FakeNews
Fake news leave us alone fako
The main stream media have a lot of sensitization to do. In African when you talk about climate change almost everyone is confused.
Canada?
Democrats are still trying to pin climate change on Donald Trump, a new study has revealed. I fixed it for you.
Democrats NEED TO START TELLING A SIMPLE NARRATIVE about how Trump & Crew are contributing to current AND FUTURE global disasters....!!! .....people are DYING and homes and businesses are being DESTROYED!!!!
Maybe they should install 'Gone By 2020' signs to frighten people.
When are people going to wake up and realize that this is a huge problem for the world? Oh that’s right, bigots don’t think it is.
AGTRigorM
I guess Al Gore is getting impatient. His bank account needs to be supplemented with carbon taxes.
Is this another attempt at the Chinese trying to make up another mess about climate change Sarcasm
Bullshit. it's summer there
AndrewYang 2020 for president. Check him out. You won’t regret it
Fake news
Yeah, seems like maybe China and India should do something about that.
11.5 years to go
At least you won't need a coat to go walking up there... Its climatechange
Studies used to find, now they reveal. cliche
Climate deniers are the most dangerous people on the planet. They need to be treated accordingly
I’d dig out a dam or transport some of that earth to make barrier reefs that would solve tsunami stricken land masses. If I had a huge tonka toy. Or levitation devices.
OrangeMan Bad!
人类最终将毁灭自己，特朗普领导的美国政府就是一个推手。
Life on Earth is in deep trouble. The sooner humans realise, the better it is. Minimise use of hydrocarbons.
End is near
THANKS CNN FOR STEPPING UP AND ADMITTING WE ARE KILLING THIS PLANET.
Trump is unbelievably powerful. Less than 3 years in office and he's causing glaciers to melt. Amazing. Cnn, you did the nation a major disservice by stopping the coverage of the President of the USA Tuesday night. Your limited credibility has dropped even more.
fake news. CNN sucks
Did I miss the link to the study? It's late and it's quite possible I could have missed it after looking twice, but this is a report about the study, right?
Hurry, give all your money to the democrats... they will fix it. 😂
CNNSucks
If we change absolutely nothing, we will still see the pendulum swing back to ice age. No need to fear monger. FakeNews
I had some chick eating away at my ass earlier. That was pretty devastating for her, too, when I ripped a wet fart.
Probably because 7 billion people live on the earth and trash it like crazy
Ice doesn’t melt at a constant rate. Volume is a big factor. This is like basic science. 🤦♂️
So when are you going to demand China cut down on their co2 s We've done our part.
Sure
They can’t forecast weather 2 hours in advance, but try to convince me they can forecast it 50 years forward.
Fortunately Democrats can control the weather.
13th place failing CNN is total fake news.
