"UNEP warns ice loss could have dramatic consequences particularly in India"

I sincerely hope that our so called leaders are aware of this.

Interesting that the report calls India out because of the Himalayan Glaciers....

Scary stuff since the reality is not too many people are paying too much attention to this and nobody really knows or understands the full extent of implications down the road. A common sense assumption is that the most populated nations will be the worst-hit at the that time....
