I wish to ask all scientists of the world about the impacts of melting oldest glaciers of the world which are of millions of years age.
if due to several environmental disturbences like global warming carbon emission greenhouse gases.....these glaciers may melt slowly or faster. The problem is they may contain several types of good or bad bacteria pathogens germs small or big organisms dead or alive. If these pathogens viruses bacteria organism come to environment how the scientific community will fight with UNKNOWN.
Unknown nature formations effects impacts and total human survival and immunity patterns at that time. Do we have any planning for this forthcoming unseen unknown problem.do we.
Glaciers are not just blocks of ice — plans to save them mustn’t overlook their hidden life
As glaciers begin to disappear, technological fixes to slow or halt ice melt are emerging. But regulations are urgently required before these fixes are used widely...
"Nearly half of Earth’s glaciers are projected to vanish by 2100, even if the increasingly improbable goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels is met. Already, Venezuela and Slovenia have lost all their glaciers — the first countries to do so in modern times.
To draw attention to such losses and to highlight the crucial part played by glaciers, snow and ice in the climate system, the United Nations has declared 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation. Yet, there is remarkably little consensus on how to save a glacier..."
