Original Note:
Ben Marzeion, a climate scientist & professor at University of Bremen, contends that we do not know how many glaciers existed in 1948, citing satellite imagery as a reason. Some reports list as many as 200,000 glaciers currently. Multiple factors make it hard to determine. 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.glims.org/RGI/
