VOICED : La mitad de los glaciares del mundo están condenados a desaparecer

A study published in Science reveals that half of the world's glaciers are set to disappear by the end of the century due to climate change. The study examines various global warming scenarios, indicating that even a 1.5°C rise above pre-industrial levels will result in the loss of 49% of glaciers, raising sea levels by 9 cm. In a worst-case scenario of a 4°C rise, 83% of glaciers could vanish, increasing sea levels by 15 cm. Current trends suggest a 2.7°C rise, leading to significant glacier melting in regions like Europe and North America. The study emphasizes the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate these effects and highlights the critical role glaciers play in water supply for billions of people.
