According to recent research published and reviewed by Science X, mountain glaciers around the world are unlikely to recover for several centuries, even if global warming is reversed and temperatures are brought back to the 1.5°C limit set by international agreements. Scientists analyzed data from various mountain glacier systems and found that once the planet exceeds the 1.5°C threshold, the loss of glacier mass becomes largely irreversible on human timescales. The study emphasizes that glaciers are highly sensitive to temperature increases and that their recovery is a slow process, even with significant human intervention to cool the planet. The findings are based on climate modeling and observations of glacier behavior in regions such as Svalbard, Norway. The research underscores the importance of immediate and sustained efforts to limit global warming, as the long-term consequences for glacier systems will persist even if future cooling is achieved.
