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!
