There are two points of view to look at for this question.
The first, is the more democratic view, based off of Global Warming; which may or may not exist. If the glaciers would all melt, the ocean levels would rise to extreme levels. The extra water would most likely flood New York, Florida, and other various cities near the coasts around the world.
Then there is the more conservative view, that does not agree. Al Gore has said that a certain percentage of glaciers are melting, which is killing polar bears and other various animals. However, note that the other and larger percentage of glaciers are NOT melting.

The World Glacier Monitoring Service reports on glaciers change every five years. In 2005 they noted:
- 115 of 115 glaciers examined in Switzerland retreated,
- 115 of 115 glaciers in Austria retreated.
- 50 glaciers in Italy were retreating and 3 stationary,
- All 7 glaciers observed in France were in retreat.
This pattern in Europe is the same for all glaciers round the world.

What are the effects of global warming in different parts of the world?
Global warming has had a variety of effects in different places. Many glaciers have melted or are in the process of melting. Permafrost is thawing. There have been droughts in some locations and floods in others. Hurricanes and other storms are generally getting stronger and more frequent. Climate zones are shifting and various species of animals and plants are changing their ranges.
What happened to glaciers around the world over the 30-40years?
All glaciers have been shrinking in the last 40 years/ Some say it is global warming. It is debatable if it is a natural cycle or caused by human interference.
What are 3 ways global warming effects wild life?
global warming is rising the temperature of the earth so in the anatartic it causes the glaciers to melt....and th animals there cannot bear high temperature than their original.... thats one reason global warming is also caused by deforestation so that takes away homes for animals who considers trees as their home global warming means increase in carbon di oxide which may effect animals
How is global warming affecting water levels and water supplies?
Global warming is causing ice to melt in glaciers and ice caps. The warming is also expanding ocean water. This is causing sea levels to rise more than usual. Global warming will not affect water supplies, as there is a fixed amount of water on earth, but it may affect their location. Some areas will become drier and others will become wetter. If all the Himalayan glaciers melt, then the great rivers of Asia, like the Ganges and the Mekong, will become much smaller. This will bring water supply problems to many Asian countries.
How does global warming affect landforms?
Global warming will increase the size of deserts.Rising sea levels will submerge some landforms.
How would glaciers be affected by changes in climate such as global warming and global cooling?
In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.
How do glaciers on earth's surface cause global warming?
Glaciers do not cause global warming, in fact, their white and shiny surface (albedo) reflects a lot of the sun's radiation; this prevents some of the warming.When glaciers melt, they reveal dark rocks and soil underneath, which absorb much more of the sun's heat. This is called a positive feedback of global warming.
Why does global warming decrease temperatures?
True global warming does not decrease temperatures. So, either the model for global warming's effects is hokus-pokus, or global warming as presently claimed, does not exist. Some global warming followers will have you believe that global warming makes the weather "act crazy". If true, then it is not really global warming, is it.
What are some undesirable side effects of global industrial fossil fuel burning?

What are some effects human have on weather?
humans cause global warming and pollution

What are some human effects on global warming?
driving cars, pollution and lots more?!
What are some causes and effects of glacial melting?
Cause: Global Warming Effect: Glacier Melting
How do you spread awareness of global warming among local people?
First you try to understand the harmful effects of global warming. Then go to peoples house in your locality and show some percentage of global warming in their house. Then explain them its harmful effects. Then try to tell them how to prevent it. Make posters and stick it on walls. Take out a rally with your friends.

What are some of the effects population growth can have on the environment?
Global warming, Deforestation and Decreasing Biodiversity,etc.
What are some of the health effects of air pollution?
There are many dicesases due to air pollution. Also it cause for global warming.
