The pace of melting glaciers has picked up dramatically. A new study says they are losing 31 percent more snow and ice than they were just 15 years earlier.
"An alarming picture," Ohio State's Lonnie Thompson said of the new study.
The world is facing a "bigger and bigger problem," said National Snow and Ice Data Center Director Mark Serreze.
The scientists calculated that the mountain glaciers have been losing more than 328 billion tons a year since 2015. Half the glacial decline is in the United States and Canada.
