Glaciers the Canary in the mine?

Chasing Ice

If all but 4 glaciers are receding

one a mile a year

one whose surface has dropped the height of the Empire state building

In the few short years it was filmed

Many, many are already gone

-        just 4 of the hundreds that exist

are growing

 

Water wars are threatened in just 7 to 15 years

a population equivalent to half that of the United States

will be moved by the rising sea

What hope is left

with indifference everywhere

In the path of such impending demand?
