Glacier Recovery Could Take Millennia Even If We Cool the Planet | Geekoo

A global study finds that glaciers could take centuries or longer to recover from climate overshoot scenarios—even if we eventually cool the Earth. The damage, scientists say, may already be done.

A new study looks at global changes in glacier mass over 20+ years, based on a wide range of community studies, accounting for differences in methodology. The results are in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and are not pretty.

Over 30% mass lost in European and Caucasian areas, with New Zealand not far behind...

Community estimate of global glacier mass changes from 2000 to 2023 - Nature

An intercomparison exercise reassesses mass loss from glaciers worldwide based on the main in situ and satellite methods from 2000 to 2023; the results are consistent with previous assessments and provide a refined and comprehensive observational baseline for future impact and modelling studies.
