glaciers

Authorities in India are looking for survivors Sunday after a portion of a Himalayan glacier broke, sending a flood of water and debris into two dams and damaging numerous homes.

Visitors of Glacier National Park have noticed that far from disappearing by 2020, some glaciers have actually increased in size, and 29 of the glaciers in the Montana park remain stubbornly unmelted, despite “climate change.”

Climate is always changing and humans are always adapting, writes Iceland’s former prime minister, so people should stop spreading irrational panic over global warming.

The effects of global warming are “already profound,” declares an essay in the New Republic, and climate impacts are especially evident in the Gulf of Maine, “one of the fastest-warming bodies of water on the planet.”

Icelandic officials joined climate change activists Sunday in bidding farewell to the nation’s first extinct glacier in what was touted as a “funeral” service for the ice mass.
