There are quite a few glaciers on earth: there are said to be around 220,000. Almost all of them are losing their ice at a breathtaking pace. Many glaciers have already disappeared.
It doesn't matter whether an ice desert becomes a rocky desert. It's about our drinking water. It's about rising sea levels, which are eating away at our coasts and swallowing up low-lying land.
The water in the seas is not only becoming more abundant, but also warmer. It is expanding and sea levels continue to rise. Warm water is killing the world's coral reefs and their magnificent biodiversity.
