In 2025, research study warned 76 per cent of glacier mass would vanish bringing catastrophe to Himalayas, European Alps, Rockies of the US, Canada, and other parts of world but one country may not feel direct impact. Here's why

In May, 2025, a major new study warned that more than three-quarters of the world's glaciers are set to vanish if climate change continues unchecked, fueling sea-level rise and jeopardizing water supplies for billions. Published in Science, the international analysis provides the clearest picture yet of long-term glacier loss, revealing that every fraction of a degree in global temperature rise significantly worsens the outlook.

It may sound grim, but co-lead author Harry Zekollari, a glaciologist at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and ETH Zurich, said the findings should be seen as a "message of hope."
