Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Climate change in Pakistan: Melting glaciers threaten millions” – below is their description.
Scientists are warning glaciers in the Himalayas are melting at unprecedented rates.
They say they could lose up to 75 percent of their volume by the end of the century.
And that could lead to dangerous flooding and water shortages for nearly two billion people downstream.
