eli5: Why melting glaciers are existential problem to humanity? or are they?
In: 0
Others are pointing out that glaciers themselves aren’t the main problem, which may be true, but it shouldn’t be ovelooked that hundreds of millions of people live near coastlines, and almost all of them will have to deal with rising sea levels by the end of the century. Bangladesh is home to something like 150 million people, and the entire country is just a few meters above sea level. Even a small sea level rise could have enormous impacts on them, forcing millions to move and triggering a refugee crisis like you’ve never seen.
