Climate change in Pakistan: Melting glaciers threaten millions

Scientists are warning glaciers in the Himalayas are melting at unprecedented rates.
They say they could lose up to 75 percent of their volume by the end of the century.
And that could lead to dangerous flooding and water shortages for nearly two billion people downstream.
Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder reports from Passu Glacier in Pakistan-administered Kashmir region.

They act like this is the first time glaciers are melting or moving Northward in that area. The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, it happened many times before. This is just one of many cycles.

[@luisrivera3056]

It's too late to stop global warming and it's here to stay, every government that has suffered major flooding needs to start implementing drainage systems as the ones installed in New Orleans after Katrina, and underground water reservoirs will also be needed in drought prone areas.
