World’s glaciers melting faster than ever, more than half the melt coming from U.S. and Canada: study Theresa Braine
Satellite images show the world’s glaciers are melting faster than ever, with more than half the melt coming from the U.S. and Canada, according to a new study.
They’re losing 31% more ice and snow annually than they did 15 years ago, The Associated Press reported, and scientists say human activity is to blame.
A study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday detailed the results of examining high-resolution imagery from NASA’s Terra satellite obtained between 2000 and 2019, revealing that glaciers, minus the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, lost on average 328 billion tons of ice per year, AP reported.
