Helsinki researcher warns glaciers may vanish this century without climate action

Professor Petri Pellikka of the University of Helsinki reiterates that glaciers are melting at an accelerating rate and could disappear within this century unless climate change is halted. The statement is a scientific warning rather than a new finding, but it underscores the urgency of emissions reductions. The claim is consistent with established climate science, though the specific timeline depends on future emission scenarios.
