According to a new study, the world’s glaciers are melting at an accelerating rate.
270 billion tonnes
Researchers have assessed the behaviour of nearly all documented ice streams on the planet, only to find that they have lost almost 270 billion tonnes office a year over the last two decades.
To better comprehend the loss, one can imagine that if you divide the amount of water from glaciers over the island of Ireland, there will be enough water to cover all of Ireland in 3m of water every year.
