Himalayan glaciers melting faster, threatening India's economy

A new report warns that Himalayan glaciers are retreating at an accelerating rate, putting India's water supply, agriculture, and broader economy at serious risk. The glaciers feed rivers that sustain hundreds of millions of people, and their loss would ripple through power generation, irrigation, and urban water systems. India, the world's most populous country, has no ready substitute for the freshwater currently locked in those ice fields.
