“The retreat of the planet’s glaciers is one of the most visible and dramatic indicators of the far-reaching impact of climate change on world’s ecosystems.”
“Now a new paper published in Nature Reviews Biodiversity has shed further light on how glacial retreat drives unmitigated changes to ice, water, and land – and how their loss threatens the health of our planet.”
“The research review analysed more than 160 research papers focused on specific aspects of glacial retreat to reveal the big picture, global impact on biodiversity and ecosystem function, showing that thousands of species that have evolved to live in these unique ecosystems are threatened by the rapid melting of glaciers.”
All of the quotes above from this source: Glaciers are melting faster than ever. The impact could be devastating.
“Could be devastating”, lets inject some unwarranted doubt!
The intellectual grasping at straws really is both pathetic and unscientific!

I'm an anti-imperialist, environmental activist and blue ocean sailor, who is passionate about the earth and all it's inhabitants without favour. Brace for imminent impact as we bare witness to the non-linear unraveling of the biosphere and habitability disappearing for most if not all complex life on the only habitable planet we know of. To quote President Niinistö in North Russia: ‘If We Lose the Arctic, We Lose the World’. Folks we have lost the Arctic.

“In this video I describe the results recently published in the Journal Nature which showed that the rate at which the world’s glaciers are melting has increased considerably in recent years”.
Key detail is our predicament is accelerating:
