Recent research has revealed that Himalayan glaciers that melt into lakes are losing significantly more ice than suggested by previous assessments. The exact loss of these lake-terminating glaciers in the Greater Himalayas has been underestimated by 6.5%. The most significant underestimation was seen in the Central Himalayas, which has lost 10% more glaciers, as per

Unceasing fossil fuel usage results in disappearance of glaciers  

In yet another case of the effects of global warming, a study has said that four out of five glaciers, or over 80 per cent, may be lost by the end of this century if an unabated use of fossil fuel continues. This century, according to the study, the world could lose as much as
