But since the 1960s, the acreage covered by Himalayan glaciers has
declined by more than 20 percent. Some glaciers are melting away so
rapidly that scientists worry they could disappear by mid-century.

The rate of warming in the Himalayas has been about twice the global
average over the past 30 years, scientists have found.

New research by several groups of scientists has found that the
increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, might not be the
main culprit. Instead, another more localized source of pollution
emitted by industrial and other processes might be responsible for
most of the melt.
