re: #37 Sharmuta

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?

The rivers will have more rain in place of less snow. This will make the runoff seasonally much more variable. They’ll need to bill buffer dams.
