–Mountain glaciers rapidly disappearing worldwide
–Himalayan and Tibetan-Qinghai Plateau glaciers sustain the major rivers of
Asia during the dry season, providing critical
irrigation water for agriculture
–If melting continues at current rates, rivers like the Yellow, Yangtze, Ganges,
and Indus could become seasonal, causing
wheat and rice harvests to plummet
