1. The U.S. is run by the billionaires not the people, until theres a revolution here to strip their power and hold them accountable nothing will change and all of us lose.

2. Trump and Elon spotted holding giant hair blow dyers on high directly pointed at glaciers melting them,,,, Those bas……. tards..

3. Crazy Christians in America do all they can to stop us resolving the problems. They are destine to destroy the planet to bring about their crazy ideas like end times nonsense.

4. People when planning to purchase a home should look into the future and realize the importance of living close to stable water supply.

5. Remember, ice melted in liquid and vapor to produce more clouds increasing atmospheric rivers events and floods. this also affect the atmospheric air flow with more catastrophics events. The oceans own flows are disturbed this year with elnina = menopaused mother nature very excessive. Beware of temperature warming over human tolerance. Immigration will increase and this new environment involve many changes in government efforts to warn and support population on ocean shores.

6. The guy who does the glacier monitoring just throws his hands up at the beginning because he knows nobody’s going to listen and we are screwed because of greed.

7. Maybe if people just stopped flying around in jets going on holidays polluting the earths environment things might improve as I remember covid lockdowns and the sky was crystal clear, no clouds no pollution just a lovely crisp fresh air as hardly any jets were in the skies so this is living proof that we as a species are damaging this rock we call home and it’s about time people woke up and smelt the coffee.

8. In Japan, people are taught that after they die, they will be judged by the god Enma to see if they did good things during their lifetime.
   Therefore, it has a positive effect, such as less garbage in the town.
   But there is a lack of awareness about global warming countermeasures.
   This is because celebrities have made negative statements such as "It's meaningless for Japan to take measures alone" and "Japan is already saving energy."
   I had a near-death experience, and I believe God was there at that time, so I am working hard to prevent global warming.
   One piece of advice: God is really scary.

9. The retreat of glaciers such as those in Himalayas began before the current warming and was caused by reduced precipitation (Shekhar, 2017. Singh, 2020.). This supported by further work done by Schneider (2014), and Chen (2019). The retreat was due to a reduction in precipitation. Currently, precipitation is half of what it was 20 years previously. Research by Salerno (2015) "challenges the assumption of the main driver [i.e. temperature] of glacier mass changes".
   
   Satellite data shows the glaciers in the Karakoram largely unaffected by current warming. Of 1219 glaciers surveyed, 79.5% were stable, 5.3% were advancing, and 7.6% retreating (Rankl, 2014).
   
   Swiss Alps glacier extents were smaller than 2000 C.E. during the warmer-than-today Roman and Medieval Warm Periods and throughout 75% of the Holocene, or when temperatures were 1-3°C warmer (Schimmelpfennig et al., 2022).
   
   Glaciologists Bohleber et al, 2020 of the Austrian Academy of Science discovered from ice cores that the 3500-meter high Weißseespitze summit was ice free 5900 years ago.
   
   There is “no evidence” that Jostedalsbreen, a southern Norway glacier, even existed during the first several thousand years of the Holocene, or when CO2 hovered near 260 ppm (Winker, 2021).
   
   In Alaska's Glacier Bay the melt rate from 1780 to 1880 was much greater than the melt rate from 1880 to the present.
   
   There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis. Glacial retreat is certainly not evidence of this.

10. It's so predictable

11. Swiss farmers will not enjoy this in several years from now, droughs followed by inundations, less vegetation. Consumers will not enjoy the increased food prices

12. We need to make inflatable artificial mountains now

13. It’s amazing how the tv just says stuff and people believe it… where is that global sea level rise?

14. Don’t worry the only people who matter have multiple homes and several of them are not ocean front.

15. What a disaster! We need to go back into an ice age or the ecosystem will suffer!

16. Nothing more glaring than ignoring melting glaciers. Like it's literally here. Not 100 years in the future. Don't hear climate scientists even talk about it.

    Lets spell it out:
    the glaciers in temperate climates are all disappearing right now.
    the glaciers in temperate climates are all disappearing right now.

17. Oops. It’s a hoax. Our president has stated this clearly.

18. And the seas are rising by hundreds of feet ??

19. Enjoy your gift of life, so when you close your eyes for the last time, you have no regrets…. and remember … death is not the end. 🦋

20. I am in the Sierra Nevada's ….snow melt is rapid and super early this year 😮

21. We're still coming out of an ice age, this is to be expected, the sun controls the climate!

22. It’s getting much much more in the coming years, because Trump wants to drill more and more oil and gas.

23. The majority of small vulnerable glaceiers werent even around the last 8 thousand years ago. Not until.the last 6 years er so lol. Crazy how many bots are on climate channels and news

24. Glaciers are melting faster than scientists expected…this headline is going on for past 20 to 30 years

25. And France congratulations you yourselves have achieved so much in the past 80 years of destroying the planet with all those Nuclear weapons and nuclear arms and waste.

26. Mare lago will be under water pretty soon…

27. Just more fearmongering disinformation designed to swindle people!

28. LMAO. "Expert" = government funded scientist. Glaciers have cycles, just like everything. And no, CO2 is not a pollutant or the cause of "climate change".

29. Yes as glaciers get smaller and lose thermanl mass, they will melt faster. The glaciers have been melting and their rate of a melt has corespondingly accelrated since the end of the ice age. Man made global warming is mis-directing. The man Made component suggests a Man made solution, which is being monetized. Focus on Overshoot. The reality that humanity has pushed the planet beyong its carrying capacity. You won't, because there is no money to be made…

30. So called environmentalists don't wanna give up their beef burgers, bacon and chicken nuggets so I can only see the problem getting worse.

31. Stories like this will soon no longer be broadcast on US media. The oligarchs in charge won’t allow it.

32. We're past 1.5, possibly past 1.7 degrees of warming. People do not understand just how terrible the hockey stick is, you do not know where the high point of that hockey stick is. I do. And I don't want molten lead to precipitate as rain out of the atmosphere.

33. The IPCC are economists not climate scientists. They need to overtaken by actual science and not aggregate data from 1930!!!

34. Thanks, great summery of every important fact in only some minutes! 👍👍👍

35. Hurry up already. 😂

36. Of course, the earth is warming! Why? All of the above earth, nuclear explosions, continues to push the earth towards the sun, at a slow, but steady rate.

37. 😂😂 hilarious are these the same scientists that said in 2008 that we would have NO ICE ANYWHERE in summertime in only 10 years and cities would be under water and then we have heard repeatedly since then that omg scientists say its melting faster than we ever thought it would.. but yet it's still there and a so is Venice.. I find it hard to believe anyone who can never admit they were wrong, they just double down

38. Sad, and many scientists sounded the alarm decades ago

39. Oh am I alone? No? Yes? There is ice at the poles. Ice breaks more easily than rock. You've never heard of journey to the center of the Earth ? Thats why it seems to be getting purposefully mwlted how quickly the melting occur. It actually is being done on purpose. So there.
