This blog will explore the consequences glacial retreat is having and will have on humans in the future. Will cultures suffer because of a changing melt water regime? Perhaps the most important question to answer is; are glaciers actually retreating? If so, what is the cause behind the retreat? All of these questions will be explored in the upcoming posts.
Below is a short video comparing images of past glaciers with the glaciers that are present today. The Glaciers in the video are based in the Himalayas, but the blog wont focus solely on the Himalayas but instead on the general worldwide trends. These images provoked some strong emotions within me and it is this video that gave me the desire to find out why this process is taking place and what it means for the future.
Please feel free to give your thoughts…..
