THE CANADIAN 🏔 ROCKIES…..THE GLACIER MELT IS PAST THE TIPPING POINT and THAT WOULD CREATE A BIG PROBLEM .

By Chandrayee Roy Choudhary, Canada: Climate change is causing glaciers around the world to recede at an alarming rate. The loss of Rocky Mountain glaciers will affect the Prairies’ freshwater supply — and that’s a big problem.

A drive through the Canadian Rockies will treat you to views of blue mountain lakes, wildlife and, of course, glaciers.

But with our changing climate and warming winters, glaciers are receding at an alarming rate in Canada and around the world.

Globally that will impact sea levels while here on the Prairies, the loss of our Rocky Mountain glaciers will affect our freshwater supply.

Over the last few decades, almost all the world’s glaciers have shrunk and the rate of decline is accelerating.

Even if somehow, magically, we’re able to stop global warming tomorrow and return the atmosphere to more normal CO2 concentrations, we would lose most of the Rockies’ glaciers.
