Modeling and in situ observations show that the 2025 ice losses are unprecedented in Central Asia 🧊📈 2% of total ice volume has gone in a single year! 😲 May become the new normal in the future! 🔥 See these two papers: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

As Glaciers Melt, the Earth’s Cryosphere Is on Thin Ice - Inside Climate News
A glaciologist and climate scientist is sounding the alarm at COP30 about the rapid shrinking of glaciers all over the world, setting the stage for flooding, sea level rise and mass migration.

The importance of just one degree on glacier preservation - by holding temperature increase to +1.5°C, more than twice as much glacier mass remains compared with an increase of 2.7°C. “Our findings stress the need for stringent mitigation policies to ensure the long-term preservation of glaciers”.
