Himalayan Glaciers Melting Rapidly
New Columbia University Study: Twice As Fast As Expected
Revelation from Spy Satellite Imagery
The Himalayan glaciers are melting two times as fast as they did before 2000. The evidence comes from Cold War era spy satellite imagery that Columbia University scientists analyzed and utilized as reference points.
The Third Pole
Known as The Third Pole because it has so much ice, the Himalayas now have only 72% of the ice that was there in 1975. Lead author of the study Josh Maurer says the Asian mountain range, which includes Mt. Everest, has been losing ice at a rate of 1% a year since 2000 or 8.3 billion tons a year. That's double the rate between 1975 and 2000.
