Equilibrium climate conditions for doubled equivalent CO2 concentrations indicate that a decrease of as much as 25 per cent in mountain Support glacier mass is possible by 2050. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 SB MCLH 04/08/2017 ]

In western Canada, these shortages will be exacerbated by the gradual disappearance of alpine Support glaciers that currently provide much of the freshwater input in regional streams and rivers in summer. [ 5CANADAICC 0 SB MCLH 04/08/2017 ]

It is likely that 75 % of the glaciers in the Swiss Alps Support will disappear by 2050. [ CLIMATECHANGEYOUTH 0 SB MCLH 04/08/2017 ]

The nearly worldwide decrease in mountain Support glacier extent and ice mass is consistent with worldwide surface temperature increases. [ 11IPCCBILAN2001 0 SB NP 04/08/2017 ]

Models project that between one-third and one-half of existing mountain Support glacier mass and a considerable area of permafrost could disappear over the next hundred years. [ 13IPCCSTABILISATIONDESGAZ 0 SB MCLH 04/08/2017 ]
