    The same is happening in the Calgary area, and everyone is myopic about this; in fact, if you bring it up as a source, you risk being assaulted as habitual economic interests enslaving people to old patterns threatens people's short-term interests. Good luck, people.

      Your problem is that you worry too much asside from being anxious and in panic mode.
      Humanity is the source cause of these melting glaciers. The melting of the glaciers is threatening the lives of two billion people.
      Less people = less greenhouse gasses = less glaciers melting
      I see no problem

      in the real world, the people that keep talking of climate change are the people that aren't facing economic problems and those people are loaded and pollute multiple times what the rest pollutes and all their solutions are that poor and low middle class people should pollute less... that is a recipe for not doing anything bar some political pandering, hence the situation we are in.

      Okay. Sounds good. But how are we going to get the rich, who govern society, to give up some of their wealthy privileges to benefit the environment and planet as whole? Are YOU going to force those rich people to stop their ways? How? It will be hard considering the fact that the most powerful nations on the planet are gripped by entrenched, unwavering corruption and oligarchy. We live in a world in which all resources are sacrificed for the rich to do the things they want. Making them sacrifice any part of their fabulous luxuries isn't going to be received well. Just like it hasn't been up until now. "Sustainability" is a distant afterthought in the minds of 99% of humanity. Our species is all about GREED.

      The video did not say anything about rivers overflowing or about rainfall. It says about the melting rate increase and how it can affect future generations.
      Problem is that glaciers gain ice during winter and melt that same amount over the summer. If all of it melts then it leads to lack of water in the future and this is what the point was.

      OK, take that rainfall event and then ADD melting glacial water. That's a lot of water, right? That could bust out the streambed. And then, later on when you NEED water, it might have all flowed into the ocean, becoming saltwater. Think of your glaciers as a storage shed for fresh water. If the glaciers all melt, you'll have no storage. Then, if you DON'T get rain, you're screwed.
