Scientists say greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal have already locked in enough global warming to doom many of the world’s glaciers — which already have retreated significantly.For example, glaciers in the Alps have lost 50% of their area since 1950, and the rate at which ice is being lost has been accelerating, with “projections ... that all the glaciers in the Alps could be gone in this century,” Thompson said.

Switzerland, which has the most glaciers of any country in Europe,, the second-biggest decline in a single year after a 6% drop in 2022.A 2023 study found that

more than half of its glacier surface in the last six decades, and 175 glaciers disappeared due tobetween 2016 and 2020, mostly due to the increase in the average global temperature.
