In Central Asia, a warming climate is shrinking the #Tuyuksu, a glacier that sits in the mountains high above #Kazakhstan’s largest city. In 6 decades, it’s lost more than half a mile. And it’s not alone. The world’s roughly 150,000 glaciers, not including the large ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, cover about 200,000 square miles of the earth’s surface. Over the last 4 decades they’ve lost the equivalent of a layer of ice 70 feet thick. Vanishing glaciers mean less water for people, streams and crops in the future. The biggest impact will be farther south of Kazakhstan, where countless glaciers feed the great river basins of Asia. Eventually these rivers will be affected by glacial retreat, said Arthur Lutz, a hydrologist with @futurewateruct, a Dutch water-resources consulting firm. But in the mountains of Kazakhstan, the decline may start sooner. @bcsolomon shot this video in Kazakhstan.
