As the authors put it in their paper, reductions in emissions «will only have very limited influence on on glacier mass change in the twenty - first century». (carbonbrief.org)
Data for the modern rate of annual ice sheet mass changes indicate an accelerating rate of mass loss consistent with a mass loss doubling time of a decade or less (Fig. 10). (journals.plos.org)
At this amount of weight loss, accurate measurements of body composition are problematic, so good data on lean body mass changes are lacking. (blog.virtahealth.com)
