New Glacier study and simulations predict losses through 2100

 As we continue with the climate science project, a new study of extensive satellite data and computer simulations of the worlds glaciers has been published in Science. It looked at the projections of what can happen with temperature increases from 1.5 degrees C to 4 degrees C, and the toll that takes on glacial melting and sea level increases. The video below was made by the lead author of the study to summarize the work. Basically some 2 billion people who rely on glacial melts for their water will be affected by continued global warming, to varying degrees depending where they are.
