‘Point of no return’: Scientists warn the world is heading towards ‘peak glacier extinction’

Scientists warn of peak glacier extinction, with thousands disappearing annually by mid-century depending on emissions. This rapid loss, already visible in mountain regions, signifies a critical point where glaciers become too small to survive. The rate of disappearance is accelerating, with significant implications for water supplies and over all local environments.
