The World Bank - Climate Change, Peru: Retreating Glacier

Felicitaciones por el cortometraje. Es muy didáctico para generar conciencia sobre el retroceso glaciar y las implicancias futuras para la humanidad.

damnn he gotta north face!

i think they should try to give all water that comes from the glaciers to african ppl and dont care about the money cost on driving all water to africa , just so all people can be happy, like take all biggest boats and drive water to there

its because the planet is due by 2012...thats the cause of all the big storms and its only going to get worse as we get closer...all the top world gov know about it aproching and thats why were already in a economic crisis today.. they are planning for the big day that will wipe out most of humanity around the world..about 85% will die...and the world is already starting to see effects...planet nibiru...not the end or the world just a new begining

alakazham!

Sad story... :( But am I wrong if I think that mountain ice comes from snow which rains down? If Earth is heating up, it means more vaporation to atmosphere and more rain fall.

If Andies are suffering disappearing snow, it means that there is less rain?

It's true that a warming planet means more evaporation which in turn points to more rainfall - only problem is that the majority of this rain will fall on the oceans and what does fall on land will fall in greater amounts but less frequently, resulting in more erosion and run-off which in turn leads to soil degradation. There are solutions however! Plant more trees! Whereever you can, however many you can!! - and if they happen to be fruit- (or nut-) -bearing trees, then all the better!

So, that people are made aware the glaciers and their importance and at the same time we know about the perputal hardships that this poeple face
