Himalayan glaciers melting faster, threatening water supply for millions

A study released this month reports that Himalayan glaciers are melting at an accelerated rate compared to the past decade, approaching a 'maximum volume' by mid-century. This poses a direct threat to water supply security for millions living below glacial lakes, with potential for glacial lake outburst floods. The findings are based on the study's claims, which are not independently corroborated in this item.
