Greenland’s ice sheet edges are shrinking inland, Kilimanjaro has nearly 80% less snow than it did just 100 years ago, and the Himalayas glaciers are disappearing at alarming rates leaving several scientists wondering if it will even be around in the next 20 years, as stated in the article titled The Big Thaw, (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/
