Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – The speed at which glaciers around the world are melting is alarming. Alaska’s Northwestern Glacier has receded around six miles from the 1940s until 2005 and will continue to do so at a rapid rate. This trend solidifies the fact that the scale and impacts of glacial loss are greater than previously thought, and –according to new research– half the planet’s glaciers will melt by 2100.
While it is imperative that humanity sticks to the goals outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement, slowing down global warming and biodiversity loss has never been more important, as the rate at which the planet is heating up has a significant impact on the speed at which the glaciers melt.
