Melting glaciers and ice cover pose growing threats worldwide

Scientists warn that melting glaciers and declining ice cover are accelerating, with new studies showing sea levels are already higher than previously thought. Ice patches on melting glaciers are a greater threat than previously understood, according to ISRO scientists, while rapid declines in ice cover are being observed in places like the Baltic Sea. The melting is affecting local environments and traditional activities, such as fishing in Greenland and skiing in Germany.
