By mid-century, more than 2,000 glaciers will disappear annually

European and American climatologists have concluded that if global warming continues and the global temperature rises by 1.5-4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, the Earth will lose 2,000 to 4,000 glaciers per year until the middle of this century, reports the press service of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH).

"Mountain glaciers at low altitudes or latitudes will be the most vulnerable to these processes. Among them are the ice masses of the Alps, the Caucasus and the Rocky Mountains of North America, as well as some regions of the Andes and African mountains. More than half of the glaciers here will disappear in the next ten to twenty years," ETH researcher Lander von Tricht said, as quoted by the university's press service.

The researchers came to this conclusion by studying how the condition of nearly 200,000 existing polar and mountain glaciers would change in the coming decades and centuries under four different climate scenarios. These include a complete cessation of emissions and a rapid stabilization of temperatures in the coming decades, as well as accelerated warming and temperature increases of 4 degrees Celsius or more by the end of the century.
