[National Climate Center: Glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau are accelerating in the context of warming and humidification] On September 2, Gao Rong, deputy director of the National Climate Center, said at a press conference of the China Meteorological Administration that in the context of global warming, the global mountain glaciers are accelerating. Gao Rong introduced that China's mountain glaciers are mainly distributed in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and surrounding areas. Under the background of climate warming and wetting on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, glaciers as a whole are in a state of accelerated melting. According to the China Glacier Catalog, in the past 60 years, the overall glacier area of ​​the Tibetan Plateau has decreased by approximately 24%, and approximately 7,000 small glaciers have completely disappeared. The rapid warming of the Tibetan Plateau drives the cryosphere to melt at an accelerated pace, resulting in an increase in the number and rapid expansion of glacial lakes, and glaciers are in a state of dynamic instability. He said that it is expected that the internal structural stability of the glaciers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will further decline in the future, and glacial disasters may become more frequent, and may also expand the scale of damage and scope of influence through the disaster chain amplification effect.
