Researchers raise alarm about looming 'catastrophe' that could impact 2 billion people: 'We need leaders to act now'
 
As global temperatures continue to rise, the melting of Himalayan glaciers has shown no signs of slowing down. Climate scientists are now issuing a warning that this development could have catastrophic consequences.

What's happening?
As reported by Policy Circle, regions in the Himalayas are losing ice mass at an alarming rate. Nepal has lost about one-third of its ice over the last 30 years. Perhaps more concerning is the fact that the rate of this ice loss is continuing to accelerate throughout the entire mountain range.   
 
According to a study from the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, the Hindu Kush Himalayan region is now estimated to lose up to 80% of its glacier volume by the end of this century. This could result in irreversible damage to countless communities throughout Asia.

I think the price of rice would have a bigger effect on those people.
