Scientists from Leeds and Edinburgh and University College London analyzed satellite studies of glaciers, mountains, and ice sheets between 1994 and 2017 to identify the effects of global warming. Their review paper was published in the magazine Cryosphere Discussions. Describing the ice loss as ‘staggering’, the group found that melting …
