Third of Asian glaciers disappears

Even if the agreements in the Paris climate agreement are met and global warming is limited to 1.

The disappearance of Asian ice, due to its enormous size, is still the 'Third Pool', is worrying because millions of people in the region depend to a large extent on the melting water. The impact of a 1.5 degree rise in temperature is especially funest for glaciers in the Himalayas and Tibet. According to Utrecht scientists around 2100, half will be melted because the higher regions warm up faster than the global average.
