Fast Glacial!

 


A UNESCO report notes there's an 'unprecedented' global glacier loss, driven by the climate crisis. Two thirds of irrigated agriculture is affected by this. That means that food and water supplies for 2 billion folk are at risk (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/20/glacier-meltdown-risks-food-and-water-supply-of-2bn-people-says-un). Glacial loss is even occurring in countries, whose rulers deny the climate crisis is real. This melt's occurring much more quickly than intelligence can ever change their minds. Food insecurity is starting to worry folk in parts of the world where it rarely seemed a problem.
