Original Note:
1. We do not know how many glaciers existed in 1948. The 1st estimate: 2012. 2. As they melt, they break into smaller glaciers. 3. The declining volume of ice that glaciers contain, a better guestimate of climate change, is “without precedent” compared to 1850. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-climate-change/fact-check-comparisons-of-glacier-counts-are-not-a-reliable-indicator-of-climate-change-idUSL1N2RV20T https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1071-0 https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/2F1E3ACB111A03F9BA83D11439F5D681/S0022143000202554a.pdf/div-class-title-historically-unprecedented-global-glacier-decline-in-the-early-21st-century-div.pdf https://wgms.ch/latest-glacier-mass-balance-data/
