Glacier melting will raise sea levels significantly

A new study reveals that nearly 40% of the world's glaciers are irreversibly doomed to melt, even if global warming stopped immediately, leading to rising sea levels. Researchers predict this loss will contribute to a 113-millimeter rise in sea levels, with the potential for a 76% loss if current climate policies fail. This could have devastating consequences for regions reliant on glacial meltwater. The study emphasizes the need to limit warming, as every tenth of a degree increase leads to further glacier mass loss, despite the 2015 Paris Agreement's goals.
