Scientists: Glaciers Are Melting 31% Faster Than 15 Years Ago
-------------------------------------------------------------

Scientists have found glaciers are melting 31% faster than they did just
15 years ago. The most impacted glaciers have been in Alaska, Iceland,
the Alps and the Himalayas. Robert Mc Nabb of Ulster University linked
the melting glaciers to human-induced climate change.

Robert Mc Nabb: "On the global scale, the main driver of that is
temperature. And it's hard to separate the fact that the temperature is
what is causing the melt with the fact that humans are, by and large,
causing the increase in temperature."
