"The website covers more than just those that have melted—like the Okjökull glacier (also known as the Ok glacier). It also highlights all the glaciers currently melting due to human-driven climate change.The latest #glaciers marked as disappearing vanished as recently as 2023."https://bgr.com/science/this-website-shows-all-the-glaciers-that-have-melted-due-to-human-driven-climate-change/

"#China’s glacier area has shrunk by 26% since 1960 due to rapid global warming, with 7,000 small #glaciers disappearing completely and glacial retreat intensifying in recent years, official data released in March showed. The dramatic ice loss, from the Arctic to the Alps, from South America to the Tibetan Plateau, is expected to accelerate as #ClimateChange, caused by the burning of fossil fuels, pushes global temperatures higher."https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/26/china/china-glacier-shrinking-global-warming-climate-intl-hnk/index.html

"Almost 40% of glaciers in existence today are already doomed to melt due to climate-heating emissions from fossil fuels, a study has found.The massive loss of glaciers would push up sea levels, endangering millions of people and driving mass migration, profoundly affecting the billions reliant on glaciers to regulate the water used to grow food, the researchers said."https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/may/29/almost-40-of-worlds-glaciers-already-doomed-due-to-climate-crisis-study

"As global temperatures rise amid human-caused climate change, new sections of the mountains that were once capped in ice are melting rapidly year after year.Turkiye, which is experiencing punishing heatwaves, drought and wildlfires, even registered a record temperature of 50.5 degrees C (122.9 F) on Friday in Silopi."https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2025/7/30/turkiyes-glaciers-fall-victim-to-climate-change

"Europe’s glaciers are shrinking faster, in every dimension, than anywhere else on Earth.A landmark study published in the journal Nature, the largest of its kind, using field measurements and satellite data from 35 research teams, found glaciers in the Alps and Pyrenees have lost about 40% of their mass since 2000. 2022 and 2023 set records for percentage loss, coinciding with peak global temperatures."https://www.nbcnews.com/science/climate-change/europes-melting-glaciers-signs-climate-peril-are-everywhere-rcna223824

"A recent study has found a worrying trend that some of the most stable glaciers in Central Asia are melting faster than ever. These glaciers are located in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan. Previously, scientists believed that these glaciers were resilient against global warming. However, recent findings suggest that even these glaciers are on the verge of collapse.

""Glaciers are melting everywhere in the world," says Prof Ben Marzeion of the University of Bremen. "They are sitting in a climate that is very hostile to them now because of global warming."Switzerland's glaciers have been particularly badly hit, losing a quarter of their ice in the last 10 years, measurements from GLAMOS revealed this week.Half of the ice remaining across the world's mountain glaciers could be preserved if global warming is limited to 1.5C ."https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce32ezzq6zlo

"Government action on climate change could determine whether the world loses 2,000 or 4,000 glaciers annually by the middle of the century, according to the research.A few degrees could be the difference between preserving almost half of the world's glaciers in 2100—or fewer than 10%."https://phys.org/news/2025-12-glacier-loss-year-2050s.html
