What is to blame? The answer is global warming. Experts say that depending on the rate of global warming, these glaciers will disappear by 2100. That’s almost 80 years from now.

Approximately 1.9 billion south Asian populations depend upon these glaciers as their water source. Not only for drinking and sanitation, for agriculture, hydro power, and tourism. But the main question is what if the glaciers started to rapidly ...
