The Himalayan glaciers are melting fast.
Hundreds of millions of people in China, India, and Nepal who gets water from glacier-dependent rivers may experience massive flooding before the water level drops eventually leading to water shortage, and related economic and environmental problems.
But this is not all. Scientists use glaciers to monitor climate change because they are especially sensitive to atmospheric fluctuations.
A melting icecream means you'll soon have a puddle on the ground. Unless you do something fast, you're going to have nothing to lick.
Global warming over the past half century is continuing at an alarming rate. And we're looking not only at the Tibetan ranges but all of the northern and southern hemisphere. How's this going to affect you and me in tropical countries?

Hey Pastor John! Aisha here.
To answer that question, we'll be experiencing more of the events from Boxing Day '04. More earthquakes, floods and draughts. More vector-ridden diseases like malaria and dengue. We'll also be facing an extreme shortage of water and food soon due to raw supplies running short all over the world.
Add that with the current rate of deforestation the earth is facing, I'd say the world will be a world full of stressed and angry people.
There are ways to manage this problem but most of us just prefer to live the same way we do and leave a bigger carbon footprint on the environment, which is horrible.
