Research
in
Europe,
Asia,
Africa,
and
the
Americas
all
point
to
the
same
conclusion:
climate
change
is
causing
the
world's
glaciers
to
melt
at
an
increasingly
rapid
pace.
It
is
a
phenomenon
that
may
prove
catastrophic
for
the
millions
of
people
in
the
world
who
depend
on
ice
melt
for
their
fresh
water
supply.
