Thousands of glaciers to melt each year by mid-century: study
Paris, France (AFP) Dec 15, 2025 Thousands of glaciers will vanish each year in the coming decades, leaving only a fraction standing by the end of the century unless global warming is curbed, a study showed on Monday. Government action on climate change could determine whether the world loses 2,000 or 4,000 glaciers annually by the middle of the century, according to the research. A few degrees could be the difference between preserving almost half of the world's glaciers in 2100 - or fewer than 10 percent. "Our results un ... read more
