Thousands of Himalayan glaciers could lose as much as 80% of their mass by the end of the century as the Earth’s temperature rises, according to projections. Peter Clark, distinguished professor of earth, ocean, and atmospheric sciences at Oregon State University, joins CBS News to explain the problem and potential solutions.

Are we really taking advice from a guy that cuts his hair with a bowl and flobee?
This is what propaganda looks like
FUN FACT: one race is going back into the neanderthal caveman caves. Because of the heavy sunlight again.
Meanwhile in SoCal, it rained all last winter, spring, half the summer, and now it's snowing. If this is the new norm, I'm fine with it.
Or maybe bring needed water and lakes to dry arid areas s
The U.N. has said that 2024 will be the first year where the average temperature will be 1.5C or higher. We've been told for 20 years, this is bad. So we'll have to see how many tipping points cause problems. Even climate scientists want to sugar-coat it though, "a period of time" he mentioned, is 100s of years!
Saving the planet for future generations doesn't make the ruling class any money, so nobody cares. If you're not going to talk about the mega rich in the news about global warming, you might as well not even cover it.
Humans had their chance
🟥🚨🟥 Next on the Menu: Human Habitat Loss, Managed Retreat- *[ if that's even possible anymore ]… Abrupt irreversible climate change is already here. 🟥🚨🟥
You guys should look up the Laurentide ice sheets. The glaciers around today are ice cubes compared to the glaciers that have melted in the past.
Ill have ocean front property in Arizona
I’m 65, been reading about climate science change in National Geographic for years. The information has been out there for years
No, they don't.
Lots of countries fighting over valleys and hills. Border lines are messy fights.
Your climate god's will ultimately come tumbling down. Shifts in the earth have happened long before the modern age, far before 'Climate Change' was a thing. The fact is shifts happen and it has nothing to do with who owns a car, or how you cook on a stove, etc etc…… Just like each plague in the bible was a judgment on the Egyptian god's I am waiting to see how the earth reacts to the absolute defilement and iniquity that is taking place right now through a humanity that seems seared in the brain and absolutely miserable and without peace. OH well ALAS we have millions of Peter Clarks today.
And yet you can find Elon Musk referring to climate change as something that will happen in the future in a recent interview.
Climate change is already with us, we are no longer at prevention, we are at mitigation.
Just drink the water! Problem solved 😂
We’re all 1/billionth Marty’s
yawn…tired old talk. Never happens
Someone better warn all the elites to stop buying coastal properties and islands.
I’m 400 yards from and 80 feet off the ocean. Someday I’ll be able to fish off my back deck. If I live to be a thousand. I’m stocking up on bait and tackle!
Fear fear fear! If it's not fear mongering over Trump, then it's the old standby… Climate! They know that people who are afraid are easy to control.
If I could buy a car I would get an EV.
Hear on the false flag TV.
All of human history has lived on coasts. Current ocean levels were once 500 feet lower, all of the old civilizations who lived on the coasts then migrated and became our current civilization that lives on the coasts now. Humans use coastal regions for resources. They always have. We can't reverse the warming trend now, it is already too late as observed about 2 months ago with the "ice age termination event." Which was the measurement of methane surging. It turns out, the CO2 has greened the planet dramatically, because of plant consumption of abundant CO2. Plant growth explosion has resulted in decaying plant life that is decomposing in the exploding plant life cycle. That decomposing plant life is releasing vast amounts of methane into the atmosphere, and it cannot be stopped. The ice sheets will melt, as they have done in other ice age termination events of the past earth history. I own property here in south Louisiana a few miles from the coast. I am personally expecting this land to be under 50-100 feet of water by 2100. It seems as though sea rise of about 200-220 max is what can be expected from total thaw of the planet, putting us back into a "warm and wet" jungle earth that has existed several times in observable data. The methane release from the greening that happened from the CO2 is a feedback loop nobody knew how to expect, but it is happening. I am already trying to estimate where the new coastal regions will be, but it is tricky because the area of the ocean gets tricky because of the fractal nature of "coastlines" when you "fill it up." So it is hard to estimate where exactly the final coastlines after total melt will be. Also, CO2 isn't the worst contributor to "warming," Water Vapor is. Water Vapor holds the most heat of any "greenhouse gas." Methane is worse than CO2 too, which is why the methane feedback loop is now unstoppable warming. We can't just stop plant life, so the methane bomb already blew. As everything thaws and we get warmer and warmer, the air gets moist because warm air can hold more moisture. That means water vapor. Then that's the biggest boom, which results in the ice age termination. Meaning all ice goes away for a while, until something dramatic happens and starts a feedback loop of circulating moisture into cold regions that snow. And then snow fall that doesn't melt piles up, and weighs itself down. That becomes ice, that then becomes glaciers that then becomes ice sheets. Then that is a new ice age. This happens endlessly, we just added to it and probably sped it up by a few hundred years. The ice age was already terminating on its own, we just made it faster by making more plant food and causing the methane bomb that is happening.
The snow machine s they use on mountains in the United states they put 3 feet of snow on the entire side of the mountains on every mountain range in America. Why not cover the mountains continuely to maybe reverse some global warming. Create a manmade glacier
NO ONE CARES, KEEP SPENDING AND SUPPORTING THOSE AND THAT WHICH IS CONTRIBUTING TO IT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Until it doesnt..
Just like when we didnt have enough bees.. now we have too many lol
Propaganda.
After the DENIAL of climate change, comes the PANIC,
as the horrible effects of Rapid Climate Change become more common!
The only way to combat this looming crisis is to raise energy costs to a level which will decimate the middle classes of developed nations.
Nothing you can do about. Cbs likes to spread fear in order to get viewers and high ratings.
😂😅 Mother nature seems to be doing its job.
Ummm. No they don’t. They will re-charge the freshwater aquifers and waterways. The Fertile Crescent will be fertile again. duh
but lets be serious for a second. . sea level rise really isn't going to do much to the world population. . it's really a small group of people, most all those people can also move. we've done it before, we'll do it again. over the hundreds of thousands of years humans have been on this Earth this isn't anything new. we also moved many years ago because of the previous ice age.
We've been saying this since the 70s….
Earth has been a volcanic, tropical, warm climate with high CO2 levels that allowed herbivores to grow stories tall.
Earth has been a rotating, frozen ball, with more than half of the continents covered with ice.
We are blessed to live in a moderate, consistent climate. It won't always be that way and it depends on the sun more than fossil fuel burning. This climate hysteria is ridiculous and causing mental health issues in vulnerable, impressionable people for no good reason. Quit it!
Better get a few thousand people to fly to the Himalayans on their private jets to solve the problem like they do in Davos.
So do lying journalists. You know who else Nino is, you know who stole my money and drugged my air. #fbi #weatherchannel come clean as Snowie ❄️🌨️
Truth calms the enraged Soltan
Glaciers have been melting for thousands of years and glaciers have been growing for thousands years. Humans can't control the climate no matter how much you tax the people.
