Still watching the first one…

NASA is a great resource for climate change information. On their climate home page you can see exactly how much the seas have risen, how many parts per million CO2 levels are at, and of course- they have news releases and all sorts of other information.

Here’s a report on Himalayan glaciers from NASA

Black Carbon Deposits on Himalayan Ice Threaten Earth’s “Third Pole”

Black soot deposited on Tibetan glaciers has contributed significantly to the retreat of the world’s largest non-polar ice masses, according to new research by scientists from NASA and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Soot absorbs incoming solar radiation and can speed glacial melting when deposited on snow in sufficient quantities.

There are a number of reasons to be concerned about the Himalayan glaciers melting- plenty of articles about it if one wants to go searching, but mostly we have millions of people who live in the river systems born from these glaciers. What will happen to them when their rivers have no source of water?
